2021 British Columbia wildfires
Series of wildfires in 2021
Summary
The 2021 British Columbia wildfires burned across the Canadian province of British Columbia. The severity of the 2021 wildfire season has been attributed to the combination of extreme heat, lower than normal rainfall, and "repeated severe thunderstorms and lightning events" by the BC Wildfire Service, all of which were exacerbated by human-caused climate change.
