Update: Here in British Columbia, it’s been the driest, hottest summer in over 120 years. Water-usage restrictions are already in effect; in some places it has reached stage four severity, which basically means that it’s illegal for many people to water their lawns, fill their pools etc. I technically live in a temperate rainforest, which is a particular type of biome that can only be found in small, select areas on earth. The keyword being “rainforest”, yet we haven’t had rain here in my city since the 24^th of June, and before that, about June 1^st, according to the weather-stat’s website. On July the fifth, the sun was blocked out over my city by a cloud of ash rising up from the forest fires. Still, the hot days are strange, the sky an ashy yellow instead of clear blue. Forests, animals, and people are suffering from the 77 active wildfires blazing across the province, a number which breaks more records than I’m comfortable with. So- in light of recent events, here is a waterfall that is much less impressive than it normally is.
