GOES-17 Fire Temperature RGB images (below) include surface reports plotted in yellow — note that the temperature reached 115ºF (46.1ºC) at Kamloops (CYKA), just southeast of the largest fire. In addition, farther to the southwest, surface observations at Lytton (CWLY) ceased as of 01 UTC (6 PM local time), as another wildfire began to destroy 90% of that town.
