Summary[edit]

Description
English: GOES-18 (GOES West) GeoColor imagery showing the smoke from wildfires raging in western Canada.

In early May 2023, fires ignited across western Canada due to unusually hot and dry weather. NOAA satellites watched as the fires raged, burning about one million acres. GOES-18 monitored the spread of the fires and smoke across the region. The ABI instrument on GOES-18 observed the formation of pyrocumulonimbus clouds from intense fires in Alberta.
