Summaryedit

Description
English: Fires in British Columbia smother parts of that province as well as Washington state with thick smoke. Near the top edge of the image is a cluster of red dots—hotspots where the satellite detected unusually warm surface temperatures associated with wildfires. From these fires, smoke blows toward the south-east, and another thick plume hovers over Vancouver Island in the south-west. Both the island and city of Vancouver are almost completely hidden by thick smoke. Skies also appear smoky over Seattle, and visible smoke travels as far as Spokane. Besides a thick haze of smoke, this image also captures a dramatic change in land cover in Washington state, changing from densely vegetated near the Pacific Coast to sparsely vegetated on the Columbia River Plateau near the Idaho border.
