Copilot:
Washington DC; what is the haze currently enveloping the Military Parade in Washington? Is it from wildfires?
Yes, the haze currently covering Washington, D.C., is due to smoke from Canadian wildfires. The smoke has triggered Air Quality Alerts across the region, turning the sky a yellowish-gray and making the air acrid. Authorities have issued a Code Red Air Quality Alert, meaning pollution levels are unhealthy for the general population.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has warned that the haze, reduced visibility, and the smell of burning wood may linger for a few days. If you're in the area, it's best to limit outdoor activities and consider wearing an N95 mask when going outside.
