Of these wildfires, 62% are classified as Being Held or Under Control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than 60% of wildfires detected in the last week have resulted from immediate lightning ignition or lightning holdover ignitions. Initial attack continues to be successful in keeping most new fire starts below one hectare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the last status update, the Fat Dog Creek and Dinosaur Lake fires are no longer considered Wildfires of Note. The Bearhole Lake wildfire, Battleship Mountain wildfire and the Heather Lake wildfire are Wildfires of Note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The campfire ban in Coastal Fire Centre is being partially rescinded. Although bans implemented by the BC Wildfire Service are being rescinded, local authorities may choose to implement or extend their own restrictions. Always check with the local jurisdiction before lighting any fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weather forecast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A northwest flow aloft is expected over the province today, bringing a mix of sun and cloud with a chance of showers and a slight risk of thundershowers over the most southeastern parts of B.C. Temperatures will range from the low to mid-twenties in the south, and become a few degrees cooler further north. Wind speeds will be between 20 and 40 kilometres per hour today with gusts of up to 50 kilometres per hour, especially in southeastern B.C. Windy conditions could persist overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tomorrow, the upper ridge continues to build. Mainly sunny skies will be widespread, increasing temperatures and drying fuels. These conditions will continue until Sunday when a weak trough brings some cloudiness and a chance of showers to northern regions. In the south, the hot and dry trend continues. Beyond the weekend, a series of weak troughs and ridges are forecast to cycle through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex
