Smoke from Canadian wildfires has crossed the Atlantic Ocean and is blowing over the U.K.
Smoke from massive wildfires burning in Canada has crossed the Atlantic Ocean and is blowing over the UK. Only a little smoke survived the journey, said Georgie Myers with the UK's Met Office. That smoke is contained in a thin, high-altitude layer and is not expected to have any air quality effects, but it could be noticeable Monday evening and early Tuesday morning. 'No impacts expected as it remains at height, but could lead to some striking sunsets and sunrises,' Myers said. Start your day with a roundup of B.C.-focused news and opinion.

The Canadian wildfires have killed two people and forced the evacuation of more than 25,000 people from the provinces of Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta. The plume of smoke from the blazes, dozens of which are burning out of control, triggered health alerts and darkened skies as it spread south across the U.S. It's not unusual for smoke from wildfires across the Atlantic to reach the UK, Myers said. Canada's wildfires are a major source of global greenhouse gases, with an outbreak in 2023 releasing more planet-warming emissions than all but a few countries, research found.
