Metro Vancouver Regional District is continuing an Air Quality Warning in Eastern Fraser Valley due to elevated fine particulate matter (small particles in the air that may impact health). This warning began on September 3 and is expected to last at least until Sunday when a change in weather is expected. A stronger southerly flow is expected tomorrow that will further clear smoke from the Eastern Fraser Valley.
Cause: Air quality is being impacted in the Eastern Fraser Valley due to light outflow winds bringing wildfire smoke. Wildfires contributing to smoke include fires east of Hope and a large complex of fires in the Cariboo region.
Smoke concentrations are expected to vary across the region today as winds, temperatures, and wildfire behaviour change.
Air Quality Warning ended for:
- Metro Vancouver – Northwest
- Metro Vancouver – Southwest
- Metro Vancouver – Northeast
- Metro Vancouver – Southeast
- Central Fraser Valley
