Recorded thermal waves that hit the western Canada and subsequent damage | Canada

From June 26 to 29, a thermal wave called Heat Dome attacked the southwestern part of British Colombia, Canada.I experienced a temperature that I had never tasted in my life, so I would like to talk about it this time.The heat wave this time was previously said that it would be a hot wave that records the highest temperature in Canada observation history.The normal summer temperature in the southwestern Canada is about 23 ° C, and it does not require a fan or air conditioner.However, this time, there were expectations exceeding 40 ° C, and people who seek fans and air conditioners at home appliances, home improvement stores, etc. were flooded.Originally, the stock itself was small, so it was sold out all over the place.In my home, I was able to ladder a home appliance store by car for about 2 hours in the morning of the heat wave, and finally get an exhibit at the last shop I stopped by.In the last three days, each family has operated a fan and air conditioner in full, and some places have a shortage of electricity and the traffic light stops.The shopping mall was crowded every day with people seeking cool.

In the area where I live, the maximum temperature on the 27th was 39 ° C (46 ° C perceived), and the most harshest 28th was 40 ° C (perceived temperature 46 ° C).It is an unbearable heat (heat) for a comfortable summer at 23 ° C, and it feels like it is somehow rolled up and focuses on the head.The air to inhale was hot, and it was a heat that I couldn't stand outside for a minute.Nevertheless, my home managed to get out, but in the last three days, 719 sudden deaths that seem to be caused by heat wave have been reported.That hot wave was harsh.And the village Lytton in the BC state is the highest temperature in Canada observation history..6 ° C (27th) 47.9 ° C (28th) 49.6 ° C (29th)] has been updated for three consecutive days.It became "the highest temperature in Canada".

It was such a liter, but it was caused by sudden drying and high temperature during the thermal wave period (currently investigating the fire source), and 250 villagers are approaching the fire.Emergency evacuation.As of July 1, the flame burned 90 % of the village and killed two people.A catastrophe immediately after being released from harsh heat wave.Litton residents cannot find the words to say.(News video link: https: // www.CBC.Ca/Player/Play/1916615747872/)

Starting with liton, forest fires have occurred in a row in various places.Forest fire occurs every summer, but the forest is abnormally dry due to this thermal wave, so I feel that the scale is larger than usual.It would be nice if it rained and moisturized the dry forest now.
