A hot, smoky summer expected in much of America.

Thu, 2023-06-29 11:04 — mike kraft
Expect a hot, smoky summer in much of America.

Smoky haze blanketing US and Canada could last into the weekend

Thu, 2023-06-08 10:40 — mike kraft
Smoky haze blanketing US and Canada could last into the weekend With weather systems expected to hardly budge, the smoky blanket billowing across the U.S. and Canada from wildfires in Quebec and Nova Scotia should persist into Thursday and possibly the weekend. That means at least another day, or more, of a dystopian-style detour that’s chased players from ballfields, actors from Broadway stages, delayed thousands of flights, and sparked a resurgence in mask wearing and remote work — all while raising concerns about the health effects of prolonged exposure to such bad air.

Canadian wildfires lead to air quality alerts un U.S. and advice on how to stay safe

Wed, 2023-06-07 12:01 — mike kraft
Canada wildfires are leading to air-quality alerts in US. Here's how to stay safe Canada is dealing with a series of intense wildfires that have spread from the western provinces to Quebec, with hundreds of forest fires burning. Wind has carried smoke from the fires southward, triggering air quality alerts throughout the United States. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Tuesday issued a poor air quality alert for New England, a day after parts of Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota received a similar advisory. Last week, U.S. officials as far south as Maryland, Baltimore, Virginia and Pennsylvania reported being impacted by the wildfires.
