Air quality advisory due to haze in NYC region takes some by surprise
NEW YORK (PIX11) — An air quality advisory is in effect for much of the New York City region, meaning people with respiratory issues are advised to take extra precautions. The notice has taken some locals by surprise. The cause of the warning is wildfires burning in the Great Plains of Canada, which are sending smoke east and south to our region. More Local News Dr. Purvi Parikh of the Allergy Asthma Network specializes in treating respiratory conditions. She said that Wednesday's air quality is a real concern. 'For someone that has to work outdoors all day, for example,' the pulmonologist told PIX11 News. 'That prolonged exposure could even set you up for long-term problems if you already have an underlying respiratory condition, or you're elderly, or have a heart condition. So it's really important as much as you can, to limit exposure and protect yourself,' Dr. Parikh continued. Various people that PIX11 News encountered on Wednesday had not heard about the advisory. More: Latest News from Around the Tri-State Daniel Huie was getting ready to ride a Citi Bike. 'I went running this morning,' he said, but added that he'd pay closer attention to air quality conditions going forward. The advisory did not apply when he'd gone running. It's in effect from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Dr. Parikh said that while the advisory is for people with respiratory issues, everybody should take precautions when the air quality levels reach the triple digits. They're forecast to be at least 105 on Wednesday. The higher the number, the more potentially dangerous the air is. 'For the most part, you should be okay,' Parikh said about the general population. 'But anything that are non-mandatory reasons to be outside, I would still limit because why expose yourself to prolonged levels of unhealthy air?' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Weather Wednesday: What is in the sky this month?
Whether you are an avid stargazer or just enjoy laying in the grass on a summer night to look at what the night sky, the month of June has a lot to offer you. Everything from the moon, to planets and even a chance to see some shooting stars, lets take a closer look at what the night sky has to offer this month. The Moon New moon: June 25 First quarter: June 3 Full Moon: June 11 Full moon name: Strawberry Moon Last quarter: June 18 Some of the best stargazing opportunities will be when the moon at the new moon phase because the moon is aligned with the sun and isn't visible to us in the Norhtern Hemisphere. This time is considered the best because it offers the darkest sky, free from the bright moonlight. The full moon this month will take place on June 11, however the best time to see it will be on June 10 as the sun goes down. Now the name, Strawberry Moon comes from fruit rather than color. According to the Farmer's Almanac, early farmers and Indigenous people started to notice that the full moon in June often coincided with the start of wild strawberry harvesting season. In Europe, June's full moon has been called the Rose Moon and the Honey Moon linking it with the colors of summer evenings. The neat thing about this month's moon is that it will be one of the lowest hanging moon of the year. Meaning that it will never get too far above the southern horizon. A full moon is opposite the sun, so it mirrors it meaning that as the sun sets the moon often rises! Because the moon is so close to the horizon our brain will play a trick on us making us think it is larger because of the horizon. Meteor Showers: The only good meteor shower in June is the Daytime Arietids, peaking on June 7. If you are up bright and early you could see about 30 or so shooting stars per hour. Yes, there is another meteor shower called the June Bootid meteor shower however this one is unpredictable and doesn't offer as many shooting stars. Planets: Planets that will be visible in the morning hours include Venus, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, all mainly in the eastern sky. You may need binoculars or even a telescope to view Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Planets that will be visible in the evening and mainly in the western part of the sky include Mercury, Mars and Jupiter. Unfortunately, the gas giant with the big red spot will be a little harder to see but still visible in the western sky Constellations: Other Events: On June 21st we enter the Summer Solstice or the longest day of the year for the northern hemisphere. On this day, the Earth's Northern Hemisphere will be tilted closest to the sun and will experience the longest day and shortest night. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
