can the impressive fumes affect France?

Since the beginning of the year, almost 2.7 million hectares are ravaged by fires. Impressive fires that are getting bigger and bigger. So much so that the smoke from these fires now impacts New York. Indeed, on recent images, we can see the skyscrapers camouflaged behind an orange veil. Some even testify, indicating that the air is unbreathable. And due, the city undergoes the fumes of more than 150 fires. However, the two points are separated from 800 kilometers.

If the smoke from the fires in Canada reaches New York, it’s because of the wind. And at this time, a depression has settled over Nova Scotia and Quebec. At the same time, a northwest wind is present in New York. These meteorological conditions are therefore favorable to the transport of smoke, as meteorologist Guillaume Séchet explains to BFMTV.com. The question that arises is therefore: will these fumes reach France?

Fires in Canada: France out of reach?

Good news: according to the meteorologist at the moment, the fumes should not reach France. Yet it has happened before. Indeed, during the terrible fires in California in 2020, smoke flew over the sky in France. The sky had even been veiled in Paris. But the meteorologist Guillaume Séchet is formal: even if the smoke from the Canadian fires arrived in France, the country would not be affected as much as New York.

And if for the moment France is spared, it is thanks to the winds. East and south winds that should spare us for at least another ten days. However, the scientist recalls that the fumes will be no matter what “broadcast all over the planet, in a few weeks, a few months”. In effect, “everything mixes” in our planet’s atmosphere.
