Gnu, what went wrong with the weather?

After two weeks of wall-to-wall sunshine and cloudless blue skies in AB and BC, with temps constantly 30-plus (38 a couple of days) we drove down from Tofino to Victoria yesterday (Sunday) under a yellowy clouded sky, with the smell of wood-smoke in the air. Forest fires maybe? We saw nothing, but there was a definite smell.

This morning in Victoria, still grey skies as I look out from our hotel at Laurel Point.
