Warm, smoky conditions to stick around for a few more days
Anyone looking for relief from the smoky, hot conditions will have to wait for a while.
The smoke has led to a special air quality statement being issued by Environment and Climate Change Canada for much of the province, along with the continued heat warning still in effect.
“The combination of heat and very poor air quality in smoke will increase the risk to your health,” the air quality statement read.
Meteorologist Brian Proctor told northeastNOW active wildfires in northern Saskatchewan and Alberta are producing the smoke, with the stagnant weather pattern allowing it to blanket the province. Proctor said the smoke drifted east but has since returned.
