Nord-du-Québec

The Fire Danger is now being calculated as far north as approximately the 52nd parallel in Nord-du-Québec. With snow having disappeared from open areas, weather stations are now able to assess fire danger levels in those sectors.

SOPFEU meteorologists continue to monitor and analyze conditions for stations located farther north, where snow cover is still present in some areas.

Drier and windier conditions over the next few days will gradually contribute to the drying of light fuels in certain sectors.

Snow cover remains present across a large portion of the Nord-du-Québec territory and fire danger continues to remain low to nearly nonexistent in many sectors.

However, drier conditions are gradually developing over the western part of the region, contributing to accelerated snowmelt and the drying of light fuels in exposed areas.

SOPFEU’s meteorology team continues to monitor evolving conditions in order to gradually adjust fire danger forecasts and analysis.

Snow cover remains well established across much of the Nord-du-Québec region and fire danger continues to remain low to nearly nonexistent.

However, drier and windier conditions are gradually developing over the western part of the region, contributing to accelerated snowmelt in some areas.

SOPFEU’s meteorology team continues to closely monitor evolving conditions in order to gradually adjust fire danger forecasts and analysis.

The region remains largely under late winter and early spring conditions, with significant snow cover still present in many forested areas.

SOPFEU’s meteorology team continues to monitor snowmelt conditions in order to gradually adjust forecasts and the fire danger rating coverage as weather conditions evolve.

Fire danger currently remains low to nearly nonexistent across most of the territory.

The region is still largely under the influence of winter conditions, with a significant snow cover in the forests, which keeps the fire danger at a near-zero level.

However, with the gradual arrival of more seasonal temperatures, the snow cover will begin to melt gradually over the next few weeks.

The region is still experiencing winter conditions, with snow well present in forested areas. The risk of wildfires there is therefore non-existent.
