Forest fires: Smoke from Canada overwhelms US cities

A severe wildfire situation in Canada has led to smoke affecting major U.S. cities like New York and Chicago. The thick smog caused visibility issues in Manhattan, prompting authorities to advise residents to minimize outdoor time. Chicago closed its beaches due to high particulate matter levels, despite the heat, and issued health warnings. Public spaces distributed free masks, and a Major League Soccer game was postponed. Wildfires in Ontario have burned over 1.9 million hectares amid a heatwave spanning from western to eastern U.S. and into Canada.
