Current Forecast
These smoke forecasts are produced by the BlueSky Canada Smoke Forecasting System operating at the University of British Columbia. Smoke forecasts are published during the Canadian wildland fire season, which runs from April to October. For more information about the system, see The BlueSky Canada Wildfire Smoke Forecasting System.
There is no forecast currently available.
This may be due to a lack of fire activity in the modelling domain and/or fire-suppressing weather conditions. New forecasts will be published here once the automated modelling system resumes producing them.
Please read the FAQ if you have any questions.
Disclaimer
BlueSky Canada smoke forecasts are considered experimental because they are produced by a system that is an ongoing research project and subject to uncertainties in fire emissions, weather forecasts and smoke dispersion. For example, the system uses satellite imaging to locate fires. If there is cloud cover or smoke that obscures the detection of fires from space, the resulting smoke from these fires will not be accounted for in the forecasts.
