Smoke Alert: D.C. Air Quality Crisis | Annapolis News

D.C. is under a code red air quality alert as Canadian wildfire smoke mixes with summer heat, making the air unhealthy for everyone. Officials urge limiting outdoor time, especially during physical activity, as smoke intensity dictates the danger level — darker hues mean more harmful particles. Temperatures will soar into the lower to middle 90s, with smoky conditions persisting through the night. Relief is on the way: a cold front Saturday will clear the smoke, bring rain, and cool things down by Sunday. Stay indoors, use air purifiers, and seek medical help if you experience headaches, itchy eyes, or chest tightness.
