This picture is not from Canada or Australia but of a #wildfire in Langdale Forest in North Yorkshire. Bearing in mind that Yorkshire is usually several degrees cooler than the South of England, temperature today is up to 33c - this fire is not under control and smoke is now visible on satellite pictures. Fire crews from neighbouring counties are helping out.. welcome to our new normal and #ClimateCrisis - news reports today will doubtless focus on people eating ice cream in parks and cooling off in fountains .. Sigh..

In the centre of the image is the back view of a red and yellow fire engine and behind it and a bit to the left is a white man with short brown hair wearing black trousers and red short sleeved shirt. They are on a dirt road and in the background can see a forest of large trees with billowing clouds of smoke drifting to the left top corner which is coming from a forest fire. This is Langdale Forest in North Yorkshire a few miles from Whitby. Picture is from a social media post from North Yorkshire Weather Updates on 13th August 2025.
