Toronto’s Smog Clears But Fires Persist | Canada News

Toronto’s smog finally cleared Sunday morning, dropping from “very high risk” to “low risk” after days of choking air from over 150 wildfires burning north of the city — but relief is temporary. Forecasts warn air quality could climb back to “moderate risk” by Monday. Wednesday was the worst, with a jet stream funneling smoke south and a heat dome trapping it, pushing the air quality index to a dangerous 10+. While the city breathes easier now, 139 fires still burn in northwestern Ontario, with fire risk rising due to dry conditions and lightning. Evacuations were issued last week — a stark reminder that even when the smoke fades, the danger lingers. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
