And all the fly ash is turning the rivers and lakes into lye.
 
Would be interesting if they do a tour down under in the burnt out areas
 
This is too often the tragedy after forest fires. There isn't vegetation to absorb and slow the rainfall and there is often horrible erosion and degradation of the topsoil layer.

umm, its raining season in the northern part of Australia.
That video was from the north part. The burning areas are the southern part and are still dry and it is dry season in the southern part.

If you'd bothered to read the BBC piece, rather than just look at the pictures, you'd have seen it says "There have been downpours in the states of Victoria, New South Wales (NSW) and Queensland, which have all been badly hit by the bushfire crisis."

There are later reports along the same lines. Here's one: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-51165032
 
OMG,
this is so dangerous but the pic looks better than Hollywood special effects.

Why couldn't it be Canada......joking.

In all seriousness this could go on for weeks yet as no rain is expected.

I have to believe Canada suffers this as well, to some degree.

When I lived in Anchorage, I learned that parts of Alaska burn every summer, and they pretty much just burn until they go out. There was smoke and haze that plagued the city for weeks as the interior burned.

I'd have to believe Canada's vast ranges see similar wildfires that are not stopped, and no one's counting the birds or marmots or bobcats that are fried in the process.

Sure, it's a difference of scale, but I'm sure there are remote forests the world over that no one can afford to fight.
 
^ Actually Canadian wildfires are considered an ecological tragedy.

At the moment though, we have no animals like the Koalas that were already functionally extinct, nor have we had the type of firestorms seen in Australia this year.

But taking the Rocky Mountaineer through the Rockies in 2018 and seeing vast swathes of burned out area was a good reminder of just how fragile our northern forest ranges and thin topsoil covering really are.
 
A few years back, I heard an explanation to why in modern times we have had so many huge fires around. The explanation actually makes sense.

See, small fires are perfectly natural in nature. These small fires clear out debris and dead plants. The problem is modern humans have been putting out these fires as soon as they started. So, years and years and years of letting debris build up because any fire is intolerable has made it possible for huge fires to occur. All it needs is a spark.
