Yes, it's true that the sky above British Columbia is hazy, smoky and not so clear because of the effect of the BC wild fires and the wild fires in other parts of Canada such as Saskatchewan. You probably have weather information through the many television news around the country. Even the computer news network provide information about the effect of the wild fire so for those who are travelling especially through BC air let me tell you that the air has that smog so it's kind of "foggy and unclear up in the air."
Direct hit of radiation is halt. Is that great? Although you are protected from the invisible radiation from above the sky, the smog has its negative effect such as bronchitis, bronchial pneumonia, asthma, lung and breathing problems, poor visibility, itchy eyes and blurry vision. The weather temperature is a bit warm not that so hot anymore. It's now 22 degrees Celsius in Campbell River, BC instead of 32 degrees Celsius. But you'll never know the unpredictability of weather... You'll never know what you gonna get next time or in the next few hours and days.
So what? We had many days of super hot weather temperature in the past 2 months. Is that not enough? Anyway, it's only July of 2015 so it is summer time still within BC until September 2015.
Well, you know that the calendar for the Chinese, Egyptians, the Jews, the Aztecs, and the Romans are different from each other so the seasons will be affected every now and then because of "who should follow." Who will advance in the determination of weather forecast.
The wealthiest countries can control their weather or climate so anything goes or depends on their trade and commerce.
