As of Aug. 6, there are about 750 active Canadian wildfires, with at least 190 labeled “out of control,” according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre. More than 16 million acres (6.8 million hectares) of land have been scorched this year, making this one of Canada’s worst wildfire seasons on record.

As Canada grapples with one of its worst wildfire seasons on record, smoke from the blazes have prompted air quality alerts across the U.S.

A thin veil of smoke from wildfires burning in Canada is worsening air quality and putting a lid on temperatures in the D.C. area. The smoke, which has resulted in some of the world’s worst air quality in the Upper Midwest and Northeast, is only wafting through the Mid-Atlantic in limited quantities, but it’s enough to have a small impact.
