Smoky skies send air quality to record lows in southern Ontario
Prolific smoke that's blown across North America and beyond over the past couple of weeks will bring reduced air quality to southern Ontario through Friday. 'As smoke levels increase, health risks increase,' Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) said in its special air quality statement for the region on Thursday. This risk includes the Greater Toronto Area, Hamilton, Ottawa, Windsor, and much of cottage country. DON'T MISS: Significant wildfire activity across the western half of the country has sent plumes of smoke from the Arctic to the tropics—and even across the pond toward Europe. Most of the smoke we've seen of late over southern Ontario has remained elevated, contributing to hazy skies and vivid sunsets. Rain and strong winds that pushed through the region Wednesday and Thursday helped push some of that smoke down to the surface, reducing air quality and leading to a distinct burning smell at times. The front responsible for this pattern continues to linger across southern Ontario—forcing the smoke to linger through Friday, as well. Special air quality statements are in effect for almost all of southern Ontario through Friday as the low-level smoke blows across the area. The poorest air quality in the Greater Toronto Area is expected to persist through Friday. Thick smoke Thursday evening and overnight brought the Air Quality Index (AQI) for much of the region to extreme lows, rivalling the GTA's record-lowest average AQI over a 24-hour period and breaking that very record in London. Previously, much of Ontario's record-lowest AQIs were set in June and July of 2023—Canada's most destructive wildfire season to date. The reduced air quality could prove irritating to vulnerable people, such as those living with chronic respiratory problems. 'You may experience mild and common symptoms such as eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches or a mild cough. More serious but less common symptoms include wheezing, chest pains or severe cough,' ECCC says in its statement. Unfortunately, the poor air quality will to linger into the weekend as a ridge of high pressure in the atmosphere will continue to suppress the smoke to lower levels. Click here to view the video

June snow dusts Scotland's highest mountain tops
Snow has dusted the tops of some of Scotland's highest hills and mountains. Meteorological summer started on Sunday, but cold air from the north has brought some chilly weather. BBC Scotland weather presenter Judith Ralston said: "Snow on the hills of Scotland is not unusual in early June. "The colder air has come down from Iceland and, with the strength of wind, it reached Scotland before getting much time to warm up." The cool conditions are expected to continue for the next few days, but the forecast is for the high winds to ease and fewer showers from Thursday. Some of Scotland's mountains, including the Cairngorms, had snowfall around this time last June. In 2010, more than 100 skiers took advantage of ski tows being open at the Cairngorm Mountain resort near Aviemore for the first time in midsummer. Previously at this time of year people were able to ski in the Cairngorms, however, they had to trek to where the snow was. Two temporary rope tows were provided over two days. Cairngorm Mountain, along with Scotland's other mountain ski centres, had benefited from lengthy periods of freezing conditions over the winter.
