The new meteorological 'phenomenon' that affects the Canary Islands

 

A few weeks ago, we saw shocking news images of the New York sky completely turned orange due to wildfires raging miles away from the Big Apple, specifically in Canada. The last thing anyone expected was that this seemingly distant event could affect the Canary Islands.

 

However, that's how it has been. As reported by the Lanzarote Security and Emergencies Consortium, the smoke from the Canadian fires has crossed the Atlantic Ocean and is notable in both Lanzarote and La Graciosa. Although experts have stated that it is not a worrying amount, the fact that it is mixed with haze can amplify the adverse effects.

 

 

 

 

The presence of haze makes this phenomenon a curiosity, so it is not expected that more waste of this type will reach other islands. Precisely, the haze is notable these days in the archipelago, so it is recommended to follow the instructions of the experts and pay special attention to risk groups.
