Get used to the smoke: meteorologist
KAMLOOPS — It could still be a couple of days before the smoke we’re seeing in Kamloops drifts away.
Air Quality Meteorologist Ralph Adams with the B.C. Ministry of Environment says it will likely be 24 to 48 hours minimum.
“The weather systems are shifting. There’s a bridge developing, which is what’s starting to give us these very high conditions with calm winds. It remains to be seen whether that ridge acts to block the smoke moving in, or if it acts to trap the smoke near the ground.”
