Smoke from forest fires further to the north is drifting south again, prompting warnings about air quality in parts of the Ottawa-Gatineau area.

    A reminder that you can check smoke forecasts on FireSmoke.ca. It’s been really helpful planning activities, especially with an asthmatic kid.

    At a glance, looks like it’ll be pretty rough tomorrow morning.

      Seconded. Great site.

      And it helps to share it with family/friends from elsewhere so they don’t have to ask how it is going every few hours :p

      It looks great but I question its accuracy. The night before it cleared up in Ottawa it was predicted to be very bad here, but never was. And then the cloud supposedly moved down to Mississauga the next morning but I talked to people there and it was clear.

    My headache can confirm. The air is shite again.
