Climate change-driven heat fuels dangerous wildfires in Canada 

Wildfire tracker July 18 2025.jpg

This graph from CBC's Wildfire Tracker represents how much forest has burned so far this year in Canada. Early signs point to another active wildfire season in 2025, particularly in Western Canada.

From Climate Central - Wildfires in Canada have been forcing mass evacuations in Manitoba and prompted urgent calls for assistance from First Nations leaders in Saskatchewan.  Parts of Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia have seen unusually intense heat, drought, and atmospheric conditions which all collided during the last week of May 2025.

Since then, Manitoba has declared a state of emergency due to extreme drought and heat conditions causing record wildfires that have intensified in the northern and eastern reaches of Manitoba forcing the evacuation of 17,000 people since fires broke out in May. Drought has also forced a state of emergency to be declared in Manitoba's agricultural sector resulting in one of the worse growing seasons in memory.

 

Climate change is fueling the heat, making high temperatures in parts of central Canada at least five times more likely than they would be in a world without climate change.
