Smoke from Canada Hits Wisconsin | Madison News

Madison hit a record-breaking air quality index yesterday — hazardous levels above 300 — thanks to smoke from Canadian wildfires drifting south. Experts warn this is becoming the new normal, as climate change lengthens and intensifies fire seasons in Canada, with drier, hotter conditions fueling faster, more dangerous blazes. Wisconsin’s location puts it squarely in the smoke’s path, making it a frequent victim. While skies are expected to clear soon, prolonged exposure can harm lungs and bloodstream — stay indoors with air filters. This is just one of many ways climate change is reshaping our daily lives, even from afar. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
