Calgary’s Hazy Skies Explained | Calgary News

Calgary’s skies are hazy thanks to wildfire smoke drifting in from northern Saskatchewan—air quality’s sitting at a moderate six despite predictions of a higher risk. The smoke’s sudden arrival? Blame shifting winds from a lingering low-pressure system that brought rain last weekend. Major fires are burning in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and the Northwest Territories, fueled by dry conditions, while Alberta’s own fires contribute little. Look out for possible BC smoke creeping in by July, when warmer temps and normal rainfall could spark intense summer storms. If you’re sensitive—kids, elders, pregnant folks, or those with health issues—stay indoors, keep windows shut, use filters, and wear masks if you must go outside. Symptoms? Itchy eyes, sore throat, cough—get checked.
