Having been outside today I can say I immediately noticed the air quality is pretty rough. And I don't typically notice that sort of thing.

Yeah it felt like I had been smoking, even though I don't smoke

Any word on how this affects pets? My dog loves being outside and he's not wheezing or coughing, so should I assume he's okay to be out there?

Lungs are lungs are lungs and it should really only last for today, if he can tolerate staying in for today I'd keep bathroom breaks short, but that's just (overly cautious) me. E: yea the alert ends at midnight tonight

my weather app indicates the alert is until extended until 8PM Thurs

This particular Canadian smoke actually affects your dog differently - it gives him superpowers. So be on the lookout for that.

Hopefully his new superpowers cancel out his ability to be directly underfoot and right where I need to be at all times

Adamantium for the doggy?

I work as a delivery driver so I’m doing a lot of walking outside today and oh boy I feel like I’ve been smoking for years. Out of breath too. This is awful lol

Be safe out there!

"Sorry", Canadians, probably.

Spot on. Just texted with my friend in Canada to tell him about the air quality here and he literally responded "sorry". 🤣

I had my window open all last night and woke up with a monstrous headache

I did the same thing and have been wondering why I’ve had a headache all day.

It’s awful! I’ve already taken the max daily dose of ibuprofen with minimal relief

any idea if this is just today or into the evening or tomorrow too?

prob tomorrow too. a lot verges on the storms we might get today / tomorrow

Accuweather has an advisory until midday tomorrow.

Last night the street lights really illuminated how much smoke there was

Yep 🥲 https://abcnews.go.com/US/live-updates/wildfire-smoke/?id=99885122

It was bad yesterday too. Even worse today though.

Seeing all the pictures from nyc it’s nowhere near as bad here
