Regretting not stopping and taking photos of a bunch of Malibu landmarks, which I just realized were destroyed in January. (every time I'd drive by, I'd say: "I should really stop and take a photo of that feed store... old motel... fishing store..." etc. then "but I have to get to that meeting, I don't have time...") #wildfires #photography
Daily averages of code red #unhealthy #air are forecast around #LakeSuperior, with much of the rest of the region expecting code orange. In both cases, shorter-term #AirQuality can be considerably worse.
Some of the #smoke may make it farther east into Tuesday as a [relative] *cold front* slowly progresses through the Northeast & Mid-Atlantic regions.

#Chicago, #Minneapolis & #Detroit have also joined the list of worst #air worldwide in recent days.
Much of #Canada is under #AirQuality alerts. The worst of the conditions is focused on parts of #Saskatchewan and the urban southeast that borders with the #US.
It’s a similar story for the northern states around the #GreatLakes into the Northeast. Much of #Minnesota, all of #Wisconsin, #Michigan, & much of #NewYork are under air quality alerts.
Rapidly increasing temperature averages are shrinking the length of winter, the amount of snow that lasts into spring & extending the summer fire season.
#Toronto, in southeast #Canada, ranked second to #Baghdad for poor #AirQuality Monday morning, according to monitoring website IQAir. Code red unhealthy #air was widespread with some pockets of very unhealthy code purple mixing in.

A new #emergency declaration was issued
for #Manitoba late last week as 13k people remain evacuated across east-central portions of the province, near the border with #Ontario, acc/to local reports.
In neighboring #Saskatchewan, a fast-moving fire surrounded the village of #Beauval on Sunday. It was one of dozens of #wildfires burning in the province.
#BritishColumbia has also witnessed massive conflagrations. In the province’s NE, as much as 30% of #forest is expected to burn this season.
From scattered sunlight to dozy bees, smoky days from #wildfires are challenging #Canada's food growers
“The haze can reflect and interfere with sunlight, which could disrupt photosynthesis.
How that affects yields depends on the type of crop — soybeans would likely fare better than corn — and the timing of the smoky days.”
The smoky air that has become an all-too-common feature…
Canada's National ObserverAfter a bit of a lull in firestorms in late June to early July, #Canada #wildfires have returned in a big way. >350 fires are burning out of control across ⅔ of the nation.
Among the most concerning fires flaring, many are in #Manitoba.
That province is seeing one of its worst fire seasons on record. Among dozens of other wildfires, there are 4 out-of-control blazes larger than 200k acres, including one closing in on a million acres.
#ClimateCrisis #AirQuality #PublicHealth #wildlife #habitats
The Fairbanks area has been surrounded by 5 blazes greater than 10k acres over the past few weeks. Many days of poor #AirQuality — as bad as #hazardous — resulted from #smoke-filled skies.
As in the Lower 48, most of the large fires are caused by lightning as warmer-than-average conditions overtook the state & brought summertime conditions along. In late June, one #wildfire even broke out in the #Arctic of Alaska’s North Slope.
#Climate #ClimateCrisis #wildfires #PublicHealth #wildlife #habitats
#Alaska has seen major #wildfire activity over the past week, with >300k of the 750k acres burned this year going up in flames, according to the Alaska Division of Forestry & Fire Protection.
#Wildfires there are part of a belt of fire activity that runs eastward through #Canada & toward the Hudson Bay.

The #GothicFire about 80 miles northwest of #LasVegas has burned >36k acres as it scorches rural & govt land, growing from 8k acres Thurs. It has contributed to poor #AirQuality in the region….
The #TurkeyfeatherFire in west-central #NewMexico expanded past 20k acres this weekend. It is burning in mainly rural forest & grassland. Another fire to the north was half contained & has burned 15k acres.
