Yeah, we usually get 'em in the Summer. It's nothing out of the ordinary, and certainly not "climate change".

I'm more confused why tourists keep on coming to the islands, despite these wildfires. Even August can be hot.

If they end up in the middle of fire - they get thrills, if not - just normal vacation. Anything better than office job, I guess.

Especially when they're American, British or Scandinavian, there are other months they could visit and find an equally agreeable climate that they won't get back home. April and October are the best picks. But nooo, let's do Summer vacation in the bloody Summer even if that means enduring Hell on Earth...

Also, schools in Sweden take an autumn break for one week in late October or early November. A perfect time to visit the Mediterranean Sea without ending up boiled.

One guy joked during the Canadian wildfire incident, “If only somebody would burn a ton of weed so that all the smoke would travel across the country; then everybody could get high.”
