The National Weather Service issued an updated air stagnation advisory on Wednesday at 9:36 a.m. that will remain in effect until Thursday at 10 a.m. for the Klamath Basin, the South Central Oregon Coast, the Eastern Douglas County Foothills, Northern and Eastern Klamath County, Western Lake County, and Central and Eastern Lake County.
According to the weather service, “The air quality will remain poor.” An inversion and stagnant air near the surface are to blame for this, as they will continue to trap pollutants.
The weather service remarks, “People with respiratory problems may experience problems due to poor air quality.” “When it comes to dealing with high levels of air pollution during periods of stagnant air, people with respiratory illnesses should heed their doctors’ recommendations. State air quality organizations strongly advise against outdoor burning and to minimize the number of wood-burning equipment in homes. Long stretches of stagnant air can trap pollutants near the ground where people live and breathe, according to state air quality regulators. For information on any current limitations in your area, contact your local burn agency.
