This rain does seem to have sorted it out. Good.

Agreed...I've never been so happy to see rain during the summer! I even pointed my webcam out the window excitedly to show the family back home during our Skype this morning.

Welcome back air quality!

Quite enjoyed the sun's orange orb the last week or so, very atmospheric in a way we almost never see in Victoria. Of course we didn't get the worst of it, I guess the Strait of Georgia/Juan de Fuca (Salish Sea) cleaned the air up a bit.

Well if they ever manage to put the bloody forest fires out maybe.
Try living in the Fraser Valley even when there are no forest fires, we are the chimney of Vancouver, and now they want to build an incinerator to burn their garbage and send that to us as well. Canuck227

You did know that there has been an incinerator in Burnaby for the past 20 years?
