Sun appears anomalous, attributed to Canada's influence
Canadian Wildfires Spread Smoke Across Continents
Wildfires in Canada have been causing significant displacement and environmental impact, with the smoke from these fires reaching far beyond Canada's borders.
The smoke from these wildfires has been making its way across the Atlantic, affecting the skies in Europe and the Baltics. According to data from the Copernicus European environmental monitoring system, the wildfires in Canada have been causing smoke to reach Europe.
In late May and early June 2023, smoke from the Canadian wildfires reached as far as Scandinavia and the Baltics. The concentration of smoke in the upper troposphere was so high that it caused the sun to turn an unusual hue before sunset in Latvia on June 4, 2023. Similarly, the smoke has been making the skies hazy in neighboring United States.
The smoke from the Canadian wildfires has also contributed to smoky skies in the Baltics, a phenomenon that is often caused by forest fires in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and sometimes by fires from Mediterranean countries.
Despite the smoke reaching Europe, the air pollution from Canadian forest fires does not affect air quality at ground level, posing no immediate health threat.
In Canada, the wildfires have gotten out of control in several areas, as reported by Canadian public media. The province of Ontario alone has forced approximately 17,000 residents to evacuate their homes due to wildfires.
Several thousand more residents have been evacuated from populated areas in other provinces of Canada due to wildfires. The Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre provides updates on air quality in Latvia, and the air quality in Latvia can be monitored on their website.
The Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre is also a source for updates on the smoke from the Canadian wildfires affecting the skies in Latvia. Large forest fires can cause smoke plumes to travel long distances, and the smoke from the Canadian wildfires has been making the skies hazy in Europe.
Despite the efforts of Canadian firefighters, the name of the firefighter who controlled the extent of the 2023 wildfires in Canada that caused large smoke clouds affecting skies in Europe and the Baltics in May and June 2023 has not been reported.
It is clear that the Canadian wildfires have had a significant impact on the environment and the lives of many people, and the smoke from these fires has reached far beyond Canada's borders, affecting the skies in Europe and the Baltics.
