Portland’s Hazy Days from Wildfire Smoke | Portland News
Description
Portland’s skies are turning hazy and unhealthy as wildfire smoke from central Washington and Oregon blankets the metro area—expected to linger through Wednesday. With air quality dropping to “amber” levels, officials have issued burn bans and advisories, including Multnomah County’s second “red day” of the year, prohibiting all outdoor burning. The smoke, held in place by offshore winds, brings not just poor air but also heat and fire risks, echoing devastating past seasons that’ve destroyed neighborhoods and forced evacuations. Relief may come by late Thursday or Friday when winds shift, but for now, stay informed and protect your health if you’re sensitive to smoke.
