The New York Times: Καπνός από πυρκαγιές σε όλες τις Η.Π.Α.

Wildfire smoke across the U.S.
Thick smoke from wildfires in Canada has again blanketed large swaths of the U.S., prompting warnings for residents to stay indoors. Air quality in several major cities, including Detroit and Indianapolis, fell well into the “very unhealthy” category, and the smoke has drifted east toward New York. Track the forecast with our map.
In Canada, nearly 500 active wildfires were burning early yesterday, officials said, and more than 250 were burning out of control, in one of the worst wildfire seasons in decades. Climate change has turned once improbably high temperatures into more commonplace occurrences and intensified conditions that fuel catastrophic wildfires and their effects on air quality.
Wildfire season in Canada usually doesn’t even begin until early July, and the blazes are likely to grow, said David Brown, an air quality meteorologist at the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. As a consequence, dangerous air quality could threaten the northern United States for weeks to come.
