Smoke from wildfires in Canada has drifted across the Atlantic to north-west Europe, causing orange sunsets but no health impacts

Violent wildfires in Canada, particularly in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, have generated smoke that has drifted across the Atlantic to Europe. The Copernicus Observatory has reported that this smoke, containing carbon monoxide, will not significantly affect surface air quality, but will cause colored sunsets. The Canadian regions are experiencing an extreme fire season and forecasts indicate an intensification in the coming months.
