They crossed France, the smoke from the major fires in Canada can be seen in the sky this Wednesday, August 30th. They are much less common in Occitania than in northern France and are not subject to a pollution warning.
Smoke from Canada sweeps across the country from north to south on Wednesday, August 30. On the other hand, in Occitania they are not very visible and are not subject to pollution warnings.
It is a plume of smoke that runs through France from north to south. High altitude smoke originating from Canada’s extraordinary fires that have traveled thousands of miles. They were much more important in in the north of the country and were particularly visible in Brittany.
When contacted, ATMO Occitanie, the air quality control authority, pointed out that “No pollution warning in Occitania“. Likewise, Météo France does not offer any “No significant influence on the weather“, apart from a few streaks of milky clouds visible in the sky.
Franceinfo has been in touch Davide FarandaClimatologist at the CNRS to find out if these high-altitude vapors could pose a risk to human health. “THE Clouds come from Canada won’t stay At France only for a few days, a few hours, so it poses no health risk. The risk from these fine particles has to be sustained over a long period of time or at a very, very high concentration, which will not be the case for the next few days.”
So there would be no health risk, the clouds could possibly become veiled the “super blue moon” expected tonightWednesday 30 August.
