As summer temperatures rise, hazy skies are expected due to smoke from Canadian wildfires moving into the area. The National Weather Service warns that while Massachusetts has no current air quality alerts, neighboring states have issued warnings about potential health impacts from elevated ozone levels. Officials urge sensitive individuals to limit outdoor activities as smoke and heat persist, with over 90 active wildfires raging in Canada leading to evacuations and worsening air quality conditions. Forecasters predict mid-to-upper 80s for Wednesday and lower 90s for Thursday.
The Maine Department of Environmental Protection recommends that individuals consider limiting strenuous outdoor physical activity to reduce the risk of adverse health effects.
As of last week, there were 90 fires out of 174 active blazes burning 'out of control' in Canada, leading to environmental impacts.
