I live 200km from the fires of Bordeaux and we still had a lot of smoke from those fires. I can't imagine how bad it is close to those fires. And with another heatwave hitting France today those fires won't stop anytime soon.

    I live in Bordeaux and after 41° yesterday, we couldn't open the windows this night because of the smoke 🤢.

    Now it's rainstorm time (alerte jaune) and we start to live again 😌

    I want to go live by the sea ⛵

    Stay safe out there, I can imagine 41°C in the city is hell with added smoke so the rain must really be a relieve.

    Be careful not to get a cold. Our weather report is predicting rain and storms next week, is it the same for the Bordeaux region?

    Just look at satellite images of Russia.

    Not all of these clouds are wildfires.

    Unless the sea is also on fire.

    Just because the clouds are (almost) entirely over land and not the water doesn't necessarily mean they aren't clouds. I'm not a meteorologist so I can't explain why, but I'm aware that it's pretty normal for the cloud cover over the land and the sea to be different.

    (Also, you can tell because smoke plumes definitely wouldn't be coming from the bay or its inlet, and they didn't blow there from the land to the east because as the real plumes show, the wind is blowing eastward.)

    Just because the clouds are (almost) entirely over land and not the water doesn't necessarily mean they aren't clouds.

    I'm saying the opposite: clouds over water are not smoke because water doesn't burn.

    The exception is of course when smoke is blown from the land to the sea. Which is clearly not the case here.

    By the way, "to the east" and "eastward" mean the same thing.

    Fun fact: The reason we call it climate change and not global warming is because the George W Bush administration directed NASA to stop using phrases that they felt might scare the American populace.

    While you're worried that "global warming" might sound too confusing to people who exist in the winter, the capitalists were pretty sure it was the phrase that was actually going to scare the working class into action.

    I mean, I do kind of agree with climate change over global warming because Hicks always see one winter with a lot of snow and go "SEE?!?! Global warming my ass!"

    Even though global warming doesn't discount colder winters amin certain locations. Once the gulf jet stream collapses the UK will have similar winters to northern Russia and Canada. Good luck my dudes.

    Drop a single drop of water, and there won't be a problem anymore.
