According to the weather service, “There will be a period of stagnant air conditions due to light winds and limited air movement.” Over time, this situation can cause air contaminants to accumulate.
The weather service states that “people with respiratory problems may experience problems due to deteriorating air quality.” “If you’re driving, use your headlights, slow down, and give yourself plenty of space. When driving, reduce your speed and give yourself plenty of space. To improve their chances of being noticed by others in low visibility situations, cyclists and pedestrians can dress in reflective or bright clothes.

For information about any current limitations in your area, contact the local air quality and burn departments. When there is a high degree of air pollution during times of stagnant air, people with respiratory illnesses should heed their doctor’s advise, particularly if your location is under an Air Quality Alert.
