The Great Canadian Smoke-Out
Let's point fingers (or, you know, not literally) at our friendly neighbors to the north. Canada, the land of maple syrup and apparently, wildfire central. Every year, it seems like a new chunk of the country goes up in flames. And when that happens, New York City becomes a front-row seat to nature’s most dramatic pyrotechnics display.
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.
So, Will It Happen Again?
The short answer is: probably. Climate change is making wildfires more frequent and intense, and as long as Canada's forests are tinderboxes, there's a chance that smoke will drift south. But don't panic just yet. Meteorologists are like weather wizards, constantly conjuring up forecasts. So, keep an eye on those air quality alerts.
Tip: Patience makes reading smoother.

- Keep your windows closed: Unless you enjoy the taste of campfire in your lungs.
