How far south is the air quality affected

[Becky1951]

I'm in N/E TN and our air quality is very poor due to the Canadian wild fires. I'm wondering how far south are others experiencing this?

We're seeing Hazy skies, for the past few days, in central Missouri.

All of New England and the Carolinas.

We've got it here in the Mid-Atlantic.

It's bad in NE PA. The sky has an eerie quality with a slight tinge of red from the sun. It might be giving us preview of what our planet's atmosphere could become if we don't pay attention to how we multitude of humans affect this planet we live on.

I heard that yesterday, NYC had the worst air quality in the World from this smoke!

My sister lives in the Blue Ridge foothills. She was complaining about the air quality yesterday. Said it was hard on her asthma.

I have asthma and COPD, it's drizzling rain and yet our local weather said air quality was very poor. I thought the rain would clear it out. It's been bothering my breathing also.

Pretty bad here in N Arkansas, but we have a few smaller wildfires of our own as well.

The sky has been grayish white here in Northern Ohio for days. I know I'm not south but just saying it's been rough here. I had to go back inside quick yesterday.


Looks a little better today as the sun is trying to break through the haziness. I felt sick to my stomach yesterday after being out there. The weather people are saying it will get more clear today. I hope so.

The day I flew into Seattle last October, the air quality that day was deemed to be the worst IN THE WORLD, beating out New Delhi and the other perennial favorites.....from the Canadian fires that were burning at that time.

Jeez, we have our own home-grown problems.....do we have to import some?

This is a map from yesterday ..Tuesday

 

[hearlady]

It's here in North Carolina.

 

[fatboy]

Not as bad as it has been the last couple of days in indiana. Less now than this morning

 

[Georgiagranny]

I haven't noticed anything yet, but the weather heads say our air quality isn't good and to stay indoors if you have asthma, COPD or other breathing problems or if you're elderly. I'm "elderly" but since I haven't noticed any change, I'll be darned if I'll stay in the house.

 

[caroln]

Not very good here in Kentucky either.

I am in Vancouver Canada and it appears the smoke can not cross over the Rockies.

Central part of the state, too, @Chet . It smells like dozens of wood burners going at the same time. The sun going down last night was beautiful... but eerie like you said... an unnatural looking orangy/red.

 

[fuzzybuddy]

Yeah, you Canucks, Keep your smoke to yourselves.
Outside my house, it looks like just about sundown, and foggy. It's possible to smell the smoke. To cause these effects in Pennsylvania, the Canadian fire must be monstrous. Hope they put this thing out, soon.

 

[Becky1951]

Ours just went from very poor to unhealthy.

 

[CinnamonSugar]

Nada problems on S Georgia for now. I’m sorry for all of you who are struggling to breath with the hazy/smoky air

 

[Bella]

Yeah, it's smoky here, you can smell it, and can see it hanging in the air. I was going to do yard work today but that'll have to wait until it clears up. This is terrible. I hope our Canadian friends are okay.

Where I live in NJ is the same as NYC.
