Heads up if you're traveling through Western New York or the Northeast thick wildfire smoke from Canada is blanketing the region again, with air quality at unhealthy for sensitive groups in areas like Buffalo, Cleveland, and even NYC. The haze is intense, visibility is down, and if you’ve got asthma or any respiratory issues, outdoor activities should be seriously limited.
If you're driving through or flying into affected areas, give yourself extra time and consider masking up. I was in Buffalo yesterday and the sky looked like an eerie heatwave at 70°F. Anyone else traveling this week feeling the effects? How are local airports and road conditions near you?
