That’s not your neighbor’s barbeque.

New Yorkers may notice a smell of smoke in the air akin to a campfire this week,
as easterly winds carry in smoke from Canadian wildfires.

The plume of smoke from the raging fires in Nova Scotia is expected to drift
hundreds of miles to the southeast over New York City and surrounding regions
Tuesday evening into Wednesday, bringing hazy skies and decreased air quality,
according to meteorologists.

Fox Weather senior producer and meteorologist Greg Diamond said New Yorkers will
begin to see and smell the smoke beginning at 7 p.m. with the fumes sticking
around after midnight into the early morning hours.

The plume is expected to dissipate and move north out of the tristate area
Wednesday evening.

from the Canadian wildfires hundreds of miles away.AP The sky will be hazy and

“The main thing you’ll notice is the sky — the skies will be milky, they’ll be a
little hazy,” Diamond told The Post. “And occasionally, when that smoke is
allowed to get down to the ground, it may smell like a campfire.”

The air quality will decrease due to the smoke’s presence Tuesday into
Wednesday.

Most people will be unaffected, but the air could be unhealthy for people in
sensitive groups — like children, the elderly and those with asthma, heart
disease or other lung diseases.

“We’ll never get to dangerous levels of the air quality,” Diamond said. “But
those who are sensitive should probably avoid being outdoors for a long period
of time, especially if they noticed that smoke is in the air.”



The haziness could reduce visibility for planes taking off and landing at
airports in the area, but likely not enough to cause significant issues or
delays, the meteorologist said.

One potential upside to the smoky air, however, is a heightened sunset and
sunrise with more “electric color” and “a hazy reddish sky” as the light gets
eroded, according to Diamond.

“Our main takeaway — it’s not really going to impact too many people’s live
unless you’re very sensitive but it can make for a cool sunset,” he said.

pictured when smoke from the fires drifted into the area last Monday. Getty

spent and exercise done outside. Nova Scotia Government/AFP via Getty Images

Diamond also warned that more smoke could be back in parts of New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut over the course of the week as similar weather conditions
persist.

“Don’t be surprised if we get another round of smoke coming back into the area
again in the next few days,” he said. “Because this pattern is kind of getting
locked in a bit for and so it wouldn’t shock me if we see another round of smoke
earlier this week, but it’s still uncertain right now.”

The city of Halifax in Nova Scotia declared a state of local emergency Sunday
and roughly 16,000 residents were forced to evacuate their homes as crews
continued to battle the violent wildfires.

About 200 houses and other buildings have been damaged by the blaze but there
have been no reports of injuries, deaths or missing residents as of Tuesday.
