Dry weather has contributed to the hundreds of wildfires burning in western Canada. Awa Cissé of the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre shares how the country is responding to the fires.
The haze is here to stay. Rounds of smoke from hundreds of Canadian wildfires, as well as dust blowing off Sub-Saharan Africa, will continue to envelop portions of the United States into the summer, say AccuWeather meteorologists.
Recent rounds of smoke blowing across the northern and eastern U.S. over the last week resulted in a hazy sky, poor air quality and vibrant sunrises and sunsets. While the thickest smoke has mostly retreated back into Canada, additional episodes are expected through the summer, with the first expected early this week.
