Fire hazard extreme here in the hills of Metchosin on Vancouver Island. The temperature has been in the mid 80s for a couple of days, but has cooled tonight to a comfortable 66. Weather forecast is for showers or a possible thundershower. Sure hope the forecasted rain does more than just wash the dust off the cedars and swordferns, but I won't hold my breath. Its always dry here in the summer, it's the unusually dryer winters, the past few years, that is most worrisome.
