Heat Stress, Then Storms: B.C. saw multiple Aug. 21 temperature records, while Unity and area in Saskatchewan remain under a heat warning as cloud cover brings a chance of rain. Climate Signals Beyond Canada: New Zealand is preparing for an unusually fast-intensifying El Niño, with readiness briefings covering heat and smoke alongside heavy rain and gales. Wildfire Access Needs: Advocates highlight evacuation gaps for Canadians with disabilities, including a Deaf resident’s account of delayed fire alerts during the Bald Range wildfire.
