Smoky skies from the Canadian wildfires have returned. Only this time, the smoke has invaded the state of Florida.
Residents of the Sunshine State were greeted with hazy skies on Tuesday created by Canadian wildfire smoke, according to AccuWeather.
Leigh Spann, a meteorologist with WFLA, told The Hill the smoke “has come all the way down I-95 and should be with us for the next couple of days.”
Smoky and hazy conditions from the Canadian wildfires continue to linger “over sections of North America” and are, in turn, contributing to poor air conditions throughout the United States, according to The New York Times.
In early June, a large portion of the United States became engulfed in dystopian-looking skies as air particles from the Canadian wildfires spread.
New York City reported having the worst air quality as a result of the smoke from the wildfires, according to NBC News.
As of Sept. 27, 362 wildfires in Canada were reported to be out of control, while 189 are being held, meaning the fire is not likely to spread beyond certain boundaries. Another 239 were reported to be under control, according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre website.
Meanwhile, a map from Firesmoke indicates there may be more wildfires currently in the United States, which may also be affecting Florida’s air quality. Several southern states were shown to have a handful of wildfires.
Canadian officials had previously warned that smoke from the Canadian wildfires could last all summer.
It's here, so the snowbirds, New Yorkers and Canadians can feel right at home................
Florida should Sue Canadastan.
Time to Fire Bomb Canada. Just get it over with.
Yes, they keep sending us stuff that messes up our environment.
And then there’s the smoke...................
I probably got more physical damage from the canadian smoke than from second hand smoke. How can I sue?
What wildfires? Nobody even mentions them. We see no pics either. Smells like burning leaves in Indiana, but then it is fall.
Everything and anyone invades invades Florida. It must be popular.
The smell permeates everything even inside at work and homes.
You can’t get away from it.
You just have to try and ignore it of cover it up with sprays that only last a few minutes...............
Trudeau’s arsonists are busy.
Bribden should ban forest fires.
Swamp gas.

how much has this affected the summer’s weather being so hot for so long?
NY wants to ban wood and coal burning pizza ovens though.
That is the bigger threat...
I wish it was. That is odorless...............
Down here it just make sit stinky.
By the time the smoke gets way down here on the Gulf coast, all the lighter byproducts of wood burning are gone, so the smoke smells just like COAL SMOKE, so it’s irritating and smelly................
Makes you wonder when the ecologists will wish to have all the trees cut down to improve the air quality problems in the western hemisphere. To my knowledge we only get two things from Canada through the air...smoke and spy balloons.

And wealthy Canadians..........
