mega forest fires The events that devastated Canada this summer led to some truly surprising events that the public did not know about. We already knew lightning had formed in them, but now the images have been taken. fire whirlwind in the fire. This is another indicator of the severity and exceptional conditions that occur at such high temperatures.
Until last August 21, more than once 5,800 wildfires that destroyed more than 15 million hectaresIt represents 4% of all forested areas of Canada. This figure is also six times the average area burned each year.
When fires of this magnitude occur, weather conditions determine the course of the event (as always), but as a result, the fire itself comes to change the weather conditions. This is why the events took place, as one of the members involved in putting out the fires in British Columbia recorded a few days ago.
In the images, you can see the typical funnel-shaped tornado whirling violently over the waters of a lake. As these waters are caught by the hurricane This water is carried by the hose at a speed of 90 km per hour..
As expert Duncan Wingen explains on the Tiempo.com portal, a hurricane is because it is a violently rotating column of air and is different from a dust storm. usually connected to a cloud baseDust storms are small dust vortices that form over very hot surfaces such as deserts and have no connection with the cloud base. They actually form in good weather conditions.
It is clear that the occurrence of a hurricane in a giant forest fire was an event. especially lethal combinationBecause strong winds due to hurricanes can spread the flames to the environment at high speed.
They also pose a major risk to firefighters and firefighters.
Devastating fires ravaging Canada They started in early May and have already released around 290 megatons of CO2 into the atmosphere.That’s more than double the country’s record of 138 megatons recorded in 2014, according to data from the Copernicus service.
