According to one website, Vancouver has the worst air of any major city on Earth right now
While it's late in the season for wildfires, several are burning in the region including large fires near Hope and Manning Park. At the same time large fires in Oregon and Washington as also sending smoke north.
An air quality advisory sent by Metro Vancouver notes that due to the constantly changing situation some areas in the region may see air quality improve through the day, while others may see it worsen. Some locals are taking the unusual skies to take photos capturing the somewhat surreal filter the smoke gives to Vancouver.
