Wildfires in Canada Got Air Quality Trippin' Across the US 😬💨

The Deets

Okay, so Canada's dealing with like, 741 wildfires rn, and over 300 of them are totally out of control. They've burned through over 16 million acres this year, which is more than double the usual. Basically, it's a major L for the environment.

All that smoke is drifting down to the US, causing air quality alerts in states from Minnesota to Connecticut. So if you're in those areas, maybe skip the outdoor fit pics for a bit and stay inside, no cap.

But wait, there's more! While the North is choking on smoke, the Southwest is turning into a whole desert. They're expecting record-breaking temps, and over 7 million people are under an extreme heat warning. Hydrate or die-drate, fam!

And if that wasn't enough, the South is getting drenched. Over 9 million people in Georgia and Alabama are under a flood watch because of heavy rainfall. It's like, pick a struggle, Mother Nature!

Oh, and Tropical Storm Dexter is dipping, so that's chill. But there's a 30% chance of another tropical storm brewing off the southeast coast. And there's a disturbance off the coast of Africa that has a 50% chance of turning into a tropical depression. So, yeah, stay tuned for more weather chaos.

The wildfires are supposedly caused by warmer than average temps, drought conditions, decreased snowpack, and low soil moisture due to global heating. Some fires are human-caused, but most of this is climate change going crazy on us.
