Metro Vancouver Regional District has issued a yellow air-quality advisory for the region, citing hot and sunny weather, local emissions and wildfire smoke.

The resulting smog, particularly wildfire smoke, contains fine particulate matter that can pose health risks, the regional district said.

Conditions are expected to improve by the weekend as the weather pattern changes. Current data and advisories are available at https://metrovancouver.org/services/air-quality-climate-action/air-quality-data-and-advisories.
