   We definetly got extremes which they (weather people) are calling that the new   
   normal.  As for hot weather, July and August were above average temps and   
   definetly dry, although the resevoirs were higher than usual, which was of   
   little to no consequence to the record forest fire season in the interior of   
   BC.  All the excess water was in the 'wrong' place to do much good as far as   
   forest fires were concerned.
