As haunting and hazardous as conditions have been in Rochester over the last few days, it's important to note that wildfire smoke in the air here is not some anomaly. It's an annual occurrence now. Certainly this week's conditions have been shockingly bad... /1

The number of human caused fires in Canada (from arson and accidents) has declined significantly while average burn area has trended way up. It is remote large fires caused by lightning that are responsible for the majority of Canada’s burn area. It’s not arson.
Replying to @FlynnZero21
A country that is frozen 6 months of the year has 9500 yearly arson fires, and they want you to believe that they are not the cause of the forest fires.
Climate change is. 🤡🌍
More smoke today.

Today is not our first time seeing smoke this summer. But it is my first time SMELLING smoke this summer. Canadian wildfire smoke has blanketed Lake Ontario this afternoon with a significant component mixing to the surface.
This is impacting surface air quality with much of Lake Ontario falling under the "Unhealthy" category on the Air Quality Index range. While AQI values are lower (better) inland from the lake, Air Quality Alerts are in effect for all of WNY through midnight.
And we can add 2026. 15 out of the last 16 years. (more likely 16 out of 17.) Radar's clear, but the skies are grey. Smells like a campfire. This kind of stuff is a new fact of life as more of the earth burns.

SMOKE ALERT: A heads up, new modeling of active wildfires drives a plume of thick smoke across the Great Lakes over the next 48 hours. Smoke will begin sagging southward from Canada into the United States into Wednesday morning, expanding further into Thursday.
While much of this smoke will exist aloft, there are early indications some of this wildfire smoke will mix down to the surface. This will impact air quality, particularly for those who are sensitive. Aside from air quality issues, there will be a noticeable haze in the air with impacts to our sunrises & sunsets in the form of more vibrant coloring. More to come on any possible air quality alerts as updates arrive.
