Weather conditions complicating wildfire efforts in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick
August 18, 2025
Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston says the weather is not co-operating in his province’s fight against a major wildfire burning out of control in the Annapolis Valley.
“Unfortunately, the weather this weekend was not in our favour. The dry conditions continued. The heat continued. The wind was blowing the wrong way. All terrible news when you’re facing a fire,” Houston told reporters on Monday.
