In #Saskatchewan hat die #Waldbrandsaison 2025 früh und heftig begonnen.

Besonders rund um den Narrow Hills Provincial Park verschärften #Dürre und starke Winde die Lage. Aktuell brennen mehrere Feuer, darunter der Shoe- und der Camp Fire.

Behörden meldeten bisher 146 Brände, fast doppelt so viele wie im Fünfjahresdurchschnitt. Es kam bereits zur Bildung einer #Pyrocumulus, einer rauchgetriebenen #Gewitterwolke mit weitreichenden atmosphärischen Folgen.

#Klimafolgen

The intense heat from wildfires fuels updrafts, lifting smoke and vapor into the atmosphere. As the plume rises, water vapor cools and condenses around particles (including ash particles) to form cloud droplets. Eventually, that creates the billowing clouds we see atop the smoke. These pyrocumulus clouds, like this one over California’s Line fire in early September 2024, can develop further into full thunderstorms, known in this case as pyrocumulonimbus. The storm from this cloud included rain, strong winds, lightning, and hail. Unfortunately, storms like these can generate thousands of lightning strikes, feeding into the wildfire rather than countering it. (Image credit: L. Dauphin; via NASA Earth Observatory)

In #Südkalifornien führte ein #Waldbrand am 9. September 2024 zur Bildung eines #Pyrocumulus, einer "#Feuerwolke", die später zu einem #Pyrocumulonimbus-Gewitter heranwuchs. Diese Wolken entstehen durch starke #Hitze und #Rauch von Waldbränden, die #Wasserdampf aufsteigen lassen. Evakuierungen wurden in mehreren Gemeinden angeordnet.

Intense blazes, including the #LineFire in Southern California, created “fire clouds” that matured into thunderstorms. #Landsat 8 captured a #pyrocumulus rising from the fire on Sept. 9. Active fires are marked in red." @NASAEarth

Running Out of Options
To recap: We're still waiting for our new home to be ready for us to move in. As far as I know, my manuscripts are still safe near the edge of that wildfire.

Now another fire has popped up to the west of us, sending a thick plume of smoke overhead. Ashes are falling out of that plume, sitting on things like

The Head #Fire began in an area hit by #lightning strikes Tuesday, and sent up a #pyrocumulus cloud so fearsome that it produced its own lightning, though the cloud was subsiding Wednesday

I've seen many pyrocumulus clouds, but I've never seen a lone cloud above a small fire like this, which I saw today. It made for a great photo, too. It looks like it should be in a Wes Anderson film.

I no longer think #hurricanes are the most terrifying of #storms; not even close.

Because we #humans have pumped so much #CO2 (and #Methane) into the #atmosphere, we'll be seeing more storms like this, in more places.

"This is not planet #Earth as we found it. This is a new place—a #fire planet we have made, with an atmosphere more conducive to #combustion than at any time in the past 3 million years."
