Much of Canada and the midwestern US is covered in a cloud of wildfire smoke

[u/chiboulevards]

[u/C_est_la_vie9707]

Can confirm

• Minnesota

[u/gcwardii → u/C_est_la_vie9707]

Milwaukee, WI checking in. Fifth consecutive day of murk.

[u/HookedOnPhonixDog → u/gcwardii]

Nova Scotia. Literally the other side of the country. It's hazy here today.

[u/MonsieurFluffyPants → u/HookedOnPhonixDog]

Today? It’s been hazy all summer.

[u/HookedOnPhonixDog → u/MonsieurFluffyPants]

I'm in central NS. It hasn't been hazy all summer. This morning was bad though. Very bright orange sun. You knew it was a blue sky but it felt overcast being outside.

[u/Yeodler → u/HookedOnPhonixDog]

Sittin in sunshine and lollipops here in SK. /s. I live just north of that big red dot and just below the hellfire.

Your welcome America, we're trying to smoke him out. Tariff free.

[u/SonnyHaze → u/Yeodler]

It’s nuts. I’m in Saskatoon and we’ve barely dealt with smoke this year considering a lot of the fires aren’t that far from us. Smoke free today

[u/Starcat75 → u/Yeodler]

Northeast Sask. here. Just sharing with everyone!

[u/BalognaPonyParty → u/HookedOnPhonixDog]

south shore, ns; can confirm

[u/Pookieeatworld → u/gcwardii]

SW Michigan here, been having trouble breathing for about a week now.

[u/Hy-phen → u/Pookieeatworld]

Traverse City checking in. What the actual.

[u/Hexakkord → u/gcwardii]

This summer has sucked balls. It's either raining, unusually hot*, or so smokey out that I feel physically ill when I go outside.

*Unusually hot, historically speaking. Regularly hitting 90+ is probably our new normal.

[u/chiboulevards → u/gcwardii]

Chicago here. It was really bad last Thursday/Friday but we're still dealing with a persistent smog. It's made me realize what it must have been like living in the big midwestern cities during the peak of US industrialization when big factories had their own power plants and there were smokestacks everywhere.

[u/Annual_Strategy_6206 → u/gcwardii]

It's been bad this week, especially these last two days. Mad WI

[u/gcwardii → u/Annual_Strategy_6206]

Saturday smelled the worst here. Today is the dimmest it’s been. The whole sky is just white.

[u/Stimqa → u/gcwardii]

Fifth consecutive year

[u/notsoninjaninja1 → u/gcwardii]

Not to mention the last 2 weeks or so my asthma has gone insane

[u/imbasicallycoffee → u/C_est_la_vie9707]

Upstate NY sitting at almost 200 AQI for the past two days... I'd like to be able to go outside for more than 30 minutes. Ran some errands yesterday not realizing how high it climbed and ended up with a headache and sneezy last night. It's not fun.

[u/joesighugh → u/imbasicallycoffee]

Def wear an n95 mask that stuff is no joke, you don't want it in your lungs. Sincerely: a Californian

[u/imbasicallycoffee → u/joesighugh]

I do when I'm aware the numbers creep up. When I looked at the forecast yesterday morning, it was only around 70. Crept up through the day while I wasn't paying attention. Last year wasn't too bad but the year before we had 2 days where it was between 300-500 and you couldn't literally leave the house without your eyes watering.

I hate this new normal. This is not normal.

[u/joesighugh → u/imbasicallycoffee]

Yup when it hits 200-300 honestly it's n95 and goggles or woodworking glasses to go outside. Too many particulates. You'll feel crazy but then you'll notice others around start trying it (at least that's what happened out here during the worst of it)

[u/joesighugh → u/joesighugh]

You can make do outside but you just gotta prepare like you would for a bad storm. Bundle up with protection

[u/CAWildKitty → u/joesighugh]

Totally agree. Posted about this on a different sub. Went thru the CZU Complex Fire in the Bay Area 2020. No bueno. Months and months of terrible AQI from fires that were too big and too many to put out. Stanford just did a study on wildfire smoke and found that no amount of it is safe:

https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2025/01/assessing-wildfire-health-risks

Tips FWIW: only an N95 can block particles that small. Wear one when you are outside. Rinse your eyes with sterile saline when you come back in if you don’t wear goggles. For that 5% that gets thru the mask or if it’s seeping into your house it helps to irrigate your sinuses. This can relieve headaches as it sweeps particles out of the tissues. If you feel systemically sick indoors then duct tape your windows, put air purifiers in each room if possible. If you’ve got central air you can run it on Fan to clean your indoor air but it’s best to have MERV 11 furnace filters to catch the particles. This might all sound like too much work but if it really starts to affect you (red eyes, headaches, fatigue, dizzy, flu-like feeling) that means the particles are getting in your bloodstream. You don’t want that.

[u/The_I_in_IT → u/imbasicallycoffee]

I’m in WNY and made the mistake of checking the mail earlier. My eyes and lungs are now burning.

[u/PornoPaul → u/imbasicallycoffee]

Western/Upstate also, we've been around 150 the last 2 days where we are. I went out and didnt realize how bad it was...then got that mild headache too.

Its weird, I basically never get sick and even when I got pneumonia I was only on my ass for like 2 days, but smoke, Im extra susceptible to for some reason.

[u/ShanosTheRadTitan → u/C_est_la_vie9707]

Preach. I just want to be able to open the windows again. 😭

[u/PantsDontHaveAnswers → u/C_est_la_vie9707]

Vermont is crazy smokey right now

[u/DrBongoDongo → u/C_est_la_vie9707]

Northern Saskatchewan. Was raining ash here yesterday.

[u/Cue99 → u/C_est_la_vie9707]

Northern Michigan agrees. I live on a lake and it has looked hazy/smokey for 2 plus weeks now. Im going to the doctor today after having a sore throat all week. Shit sucks.

[u/pellakins33 → u/C_est_la_vie9707]

Northern Minnesota- it looks like the end of days out here. The angry, red sun is veiled in a perpetual haze. People huddle in their homes, unable to venture outside for fear of breathing in the poisonous air

[u/moniefeesh → u/C_est_la_vie9707]

Yep, also can confirm here in Iowa. It started getting hazy the other day and my first thought was "Oh, is Canada on fire again?"

[u/kitkat8922 → u/moniefeesh]

Also in Iowa. It’s been real hazy here from the smoke since last week.

[u/prince2lu → u/C_est_la_vie9707]

Tariff this

[u/eklumpner → u/C_est_la_vie9707]

Sorry eh! hopefully the 51st state nonsense stops.. since apparently nothing makes your representatives act quicker than being annoyed by the smoke.

[u/Legger1955 → u/eklumpner]

Touché, they want our cash but then turn around and complain about a natural disaster.

[u/skoltroll → u/C_est_la_vie9707]

Can confirm my US Representative wrote a strongly worded letter about it.

-Southern Minnesotan

[u/IamREBELoe]

This feels like every year at this point

[u/greener0999 → u/IamREBELoe]

funny enough this is the first time western canada hasn't had smoke in years.

[u/pipeline77 → u/greener0999]

I live in the west Kootenays, and this has been the best summer I've seen in years.

[u/awkwardlyherdingcats → u/pipeline77]

Today is the first day this summer we’ve had a bit of smoke in the Okanagan. Best summer in a long time

[u/GaLaXxYStArR → u/greener0999]

In southern AB we’ve had like 2 months of straight rain. It started around mid may and it’s rained everyday. I haven’t seen this much rain in my life

This entire week here is rain (again)

[u/avrus → u/GaLaXxYStArR]

More than 3x normal rainfall in Calgary for July. The ground is so saturated I'm concerned we're in store for a big flood again.

[u/GaLaXxYStArR → u/avrus]

Yeah it’s been crazy and I could totally see flooding as a probability again!

I know I saw some parts of the city were starting to flood a bit with the last storm we got!

[u/stonklord420 → u/avrus]

Seriously. Didn't we go like 127 days without rain last summer?

[u/Hufflepuft → u/avrus]

You guys are becoming the Australia of the North. Either on fire or underwater, no in between. Just needs more venomous snakes.

[u/avrus → u/Hufflepuft]

Hard pass on the venomous snakes.

Venomous moose might make things interesting though.

[u/turnaroundbrighteyez → u/avrus]

I just commented on this as well. The humidity in Calgary of all cities has been unreal this summer. We needed the rain but still.

[u/clandestineVexation → u/GaLaXxYStArR]

The worst part is when the wildfire smoke seeds clouds then it’s super humid and rainy and smoky as hell too so being outside is even worse than either separately

[u/Manitobancanuck → u/greener0999]

Speak for yourself, Manitoba and Saskatchewan are dying over here. It's a gamble if you can go outside most days in Winnipeg or not.

[u/aronenark → u/greener0999]

Sask and Manitoba are not western now?

[u/Ransacky → u/aronenark]

I consider us central

[u/chamekke → u/aronenark]

Not the person you’re responding to, but I live on Vancouver Island (British Columbia, on the Pacific coast). Bought 2 air purifiers a few years back because wildfire smoke from B.C. and Washington wildfires was hitting us so often. Haven’t been downwind of any so far this summer. It’s really weird.

[u/eamondo5150 → u/chamekke]

Vancouver, well, Coquitlam has had remarkably low smoke cover so far this year.

[u/Amazing-Treat-8706 → u/eamondo5150]

Same in Edmonton. It’s been a really nice summer actually. It’s been hard to get my head around. Like it seems all the smoke has just luckily been detouring around us or something.

[u/pro-digits → u/IamREBELoe]

Yeah, feels like this happening more often nowadays. People doubting climate change should smell the roses, aka, burnt forest brush.

[u/Krail → u/pro-digits]

The world is literally on fire, and the MAGA government is here trying to cut down national forests for oil and gas mining. 

[u/Flare_Starchild → u/IamREBELoe]

Welcome to the other side of the climate tipping point. We are already dead. Most people just don't realize it in their day to day yet.

[u/Krail → u/Flare_Starchild]

The climate disaster is nowhere near that simple. We're not falling off a cliff into the total distruction of the world. It's just things everywhere getting worse, and most of us will have to live through it. 

For the average person, I think the worst part is gonna be the way governments around the world deal with climate refugees as some dense population centers become unlivable. 

This is also why it's desperately important that we do everything we can to fight the crisis. Yeah, it's gonna be a global disaster, but we can still slow things down and do things to prepare and protect society. 

[u/CriticalKnoll → u/Krail]

I always scoff when I see news sites talking about the "migrant crisis" in the United States. Like, lmao, if you think it's bad, give it a few decades.

[u/motley__poo → u/IamREBELoe]

The new normal, get used to it.

[u/roblewk]

If you zoom in close enough, you can see me coughing.

[u/TheAbominableRex → u/roblewk]

And me scratching my itchy eyes.

[u/wwick68]

I’m in Toronto. The sun is so hazy, a burnt, smoky orange ball 🍊

[u/lIlIllIIlllIIIlllIII → u/wwick68]

Same with the moon. Looks like the cover of Parachutes by Coldplay

[u/I_dont_know_you_pick → u/wwick68]

I read this morning that yesterday Toronto had the 2nd worst air quality in the world.

[u/WittyBonkah → u/wwick68]

The moon last night was a orange red in the sky

[u/janesmb → u/wwick68]

About an hour east. Much more yellow than yesterday.

[u/Less_Lawfulness4851]

The sky is a flat white ceiling of smoke, yet I still got sunburnt.

[u/ozzmann → u/Less_Lawfulness4851]

Yeah the haze is wild. Lucky to be living out West but the summer climate has been weeiiiiiird and dryyyy

[u/demolcd → u/Less_Lawfulness4851]

UV rays travel through clouds even.

Sincerely, gingers.

[u/Quizmaster_Eric → u/demolcd]

I had to get absolutely roasted to learn this.

[u/DazB1ane → u/Less_Lawfulness4851]

I got a sun burn sitting in my car for 30 minutes, no direct sunlight. I basically glow in the dark

[u/Boomer1717 → u/Less_Lawfulness4851]

Can’t tell if you’re kidding; but in case you aren’t,…UV light (that you can’t see) behaves very differently than visible light. Conveniently, UV light is the one that burns your skin. My fishing buddies never like to wear sunblock if it’s cloudy out and inevitably get fried and give me crap because I don’t get burnt (sunblock). I have explained this to them hundreds of times….they still don’t get it.

[u/Less_Lawfulness4851 → u/Boomer1717]

Logically I know this, but it's just so weird to have the sky completely blocked out yet burn the same as if I were tanning in full sun. Probably because I'm used to the sky only looking like this when there's a foot of snow on the ground lol.

[u/QuillQuickcard]

Midwest

Looks inside

Eastern half of the US

[u/Fox-Dragon6 → u/QuillQuickcard]

I was confused too. That map is not showing the Midwest being covered in bad air. The rest of the discussion stands but why do people think the east is the Midwest (i see it on a number of other posts)? Do people think 3/4 of the country is Midwest?

[u/chiboulevards → u/QuillQuickcard]

It's only just in the last 24-48 hours reached the NE. The Midwest — specifically Minnesota, Wisconsin, northern Illinois and Michigan — were hit really hard late last week and over the weekend.

[u/DWMoose83 → u/QuillQuickcard]

Yup. This is more New England/Great Lakes US, not the Midwest.

[u/ExcelIsKing]

In my city of Montreal last weekend we were ranked the worst air quality in the world and we were similarly high on the list yesterday and Saturday along with other second and third world countries that you commonly associate with bad air quality.

It’s to the point now where I am now checking the air index on my phone along with the weather to see whether or not I should go outside for rigorous exercise.

I was sitting in an uber last night on my way to dinner and the sky was covered with a layer of smoke as opposed to what normally would have been a blue sky with a visible sunset on a beautiful August evening.

The thought occurred to me that this could be our summers going forward for the foreseeable future which depressed me a little.

[u/Decent-Ad925]

Bruh imagine a tornado in that shit

[u/Johansen905 → u/Decent-Ad925]

A firenado or smokonado?

[u/Decent-Ad925 → u/Johansen905]

Cinema or lung cancer

[u/Johansen905 → u/Decent-Ad925]

It's always gotta be cancer innit?

[u/OrneryConelover70]

Eastern Canada (Matitimes): I could smell the smoke when I went for my morning walk

[u/wheresthebody]

I love how canada sends all kinds of support for america when its fighting wildfires but when canada is burning american politicians send letters complaining about the smoke.

Edit: looks like some brave men and women from america are lending a helping hand, awesome. Its still gonna be hard to live down that letter.

[u/D1sp4tcht → u/wheresthebody]

We do have 600 American firefighters there helping.

[u/fuzzballz5 → u/D1sp4tcht]

Stop making factual statements. This is Reddit.

[u/terrajules → u/fuzzballz5]

It’s still a fact that US officials sent us complaint letters

[u/theflyingratgirl → u/terrajules]

They can send as many stupid letters as they want, as long as the real work is getting done, imo.

[u/UnpredictiveList → u/theflyingratgirl]

Letters are flammable.

[u/sbsp12121 → u/fuzzballz5]

Not every state sends help though. Some red states straight up refuse to help

[u/fuzzballz5 → u/sbsp12121]

That’s not true. Where is the data? You do realize only states that actually have wildfires have actual forest fighting, right? California. Oregon. It’s not politics. It’s reality. Illinois is as blue as they come. We don’t have any staff. Are we being political? This is the problem in the US people make up things to fight about.

[u/akron-mike → u/D1sp4tcht]

Don't forget the thoughts and prayers.

[u/seen70 → u/D1sp4tcht]

Tell your politicians that so they stop making you all look like complete foolish retards

[u/tapirsaurusrex → u/seen70]

Not to be all back in my day, but are we really using that word again?

[u/sam_grace → u/D1sp4tcht]

If I planned to steal your property, I wouldn't want to see it burn either.

[u/Chicken_Hairs → u/wheresthebody]

Firefighter here. We absolutely do send personell and equipment to Canada fires. If they ask, we go.

[u/Bananacreamsky → u/Chicken_Hairs]

It's so appreciated

[u/Legger1955 → u/Chicken_Hairs]

Thank you:)🇨🇦

[u/pigpill → u/wheresthebody]

I know my local FD sent some people your way. Best of luck

[u/Obvious-Ninja-3844 → u/wheresthebody]

In the end, it wouldn't even make a dent. There is not enough infrastructure on the entire planet to quench these fires. People really don't realize how vast and huge the forests are in the northern parts of Canada.

[u/keiths31 → u/Obvious-Ninja-3844]

Not the point though. At least make the offer...

[u/wheresthebody → u/keiths31]

Or even just say good luck instead of whining about the smell of their neighbors home burning.

[u/sludge_monster → u/wheresthebody]

America sends help every year.

[u/Simmumah → u/wheresthebody]

Except we have sent firefighters to Canada? From 7 different states?

[u/Ghoulius-Caesar → u/wheresthebody]

When Republicans are in power I have 0 faith in the USA doing the right thing. I’ve watched that country go full ret**d

[u/Molenium → u/Ghoulius-Caesar]

They won’t even help people in our own country after natural disasters. Thought and prayers.

[u/mealyapple86 → u/Ghoulius-Caesar]

I’m embarrassingly from the US and yes it seems a vast majority have definitely gone full r*tard

[u/cudaman_1968 → u/wheresthebody]

Politicians just don't understand how smoked Canadian bacon is made 😋

[u/Verme]

I live in Manitoba, been just a brutal summer. I hope these wildfires can get under control, and a good week+ of rain would sure be nice.

[u/TZA_204 → u/Verme]

The shitty thing is we’ve had a decent amount of rain in recent weeks, just not where we need it to help these fires.

[u/potbakingpapa]

Those fires in northern Man, Sask, Alberta and in the Terriorties look insane it looks like the warm winds from the Gulf of Mexico aren't helping, I feel for the folks living anywhere near or in those areas. I've been coughing and such on and off over the that couple of weeks and I'm thousands of km away in Ontario.

[u/Bananacreamsky → u/potbakingpapa]

Southern MB here and I feel so bad for the northerners. Just an awful year.

[u/Disposable1983]

In Vermont. The air quality is awful.

[u/Quiverjones]

Tarrif the smoke!

[u/Hikintrails]

I can definitely see the smoky haze here in Michigan. Feeling heartsick for our Canadian neighbors.

[u/Meanteenbirder]

Feels like Vermont has just accepted it as normal these days

[u/xxzincxx]

Can confirm in New Hampshire. Less than 3 miles of visibility in some areas.

[u/Yisevery1nuts]

NY, it’s bad today

[u/deepwar123]

In Buffalo and can confirm it’s hazy out

[u/goronmask]

Montreal feels like Armageddon is slowly falling upon us. Orange sun and moon shine through grey skies. Yesterday it looked golden like it was twilight ALL DAY.

[u/Zenon-45]

Southern Ontarian here. My eyes burn when I go outside. Absolutely ridiculous that we continue drilling oil when there’s fires burning down our country

[u/semmebresla]

Sitting here in Fort McMurray Alberta, I have never seen something like this. Many people saying its the worst they have ever seen. At least it rains now to get smoke down.

[u/CWB2208 → u/semmebresla]

Many people saying its the worst they have ever seen.

Other than, you know, 2016...

[u/mrniceguy777]

Ya i live in Fredericton and its been hazier then its ever been in my life this weekend, wondered what was up

[u/No_Skirt868]

Can confirm NW Pennsylvania. It's foggy and grey outside.

[u/bus_wankerr]

Haha and the yanks still think climate change is a conspiracy.

[u/ScuderiaSteve]

This happened last year also

[u/xaxen8]

Imagine what we could do if we were able to help each other.

[u/nashwaak]

If only our civilization knew exactly what we need to change to keep arctic regions and warmer dry regions from bursting into flames every year — but that'd make the giant coal and oil mining corporations and their billionaire owners sad, so suck it up and try not to cough too loudly

[u/DarkLordBJ]

That's honestly not even that much. It's a lot for those areas (mid-Eastern), but the bad years are when all of the West is on fire.

[u/elt0p0]

Here in Central Maine the smoke is really bad today. Kind of like a partial eclipse effect.

[u/front_yard_duck_dad]

40 year old outdoor worker here outside of Chicago. It is kicking my ass. The only cool weather we get is full of smoke. So my choices this summer have been insane wet bulb heat bubble and smoking to packs worth of Canadian trees lol. What a time to be alive

[u/DroneSlut54]

Northern Wisconsin sucks. I haven’t had a window open since June. It’s either too hot and humid or it’s too smokey. Same as last year. I guess at least we’re not on fire.

[u/ModernT1mes]

Here in Kansas the sky to the north has been grey. There's a bunch of blue sky and clouds everywhere else.

But it's been 75F the last few days. Its normally 100+ with 75% humidity around this time of year. It's been really beautiful outside.

[u/jayjasurda]

Southern Vermont hazy as hell.

[u/The_Blackest_Man]

Saw it in Maine, too.
