ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ can breathe a sigh of relief at this week’s forecast of relatively cool nights and smatterings of rain as the city shakes off last week’s heat and air quality warnings.
The city had some of the worst air quality in the world on Wednesday morning, according to Swiss company IQAir, which pegged ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ as having the ninth worst air quality among the world’s major cities.
Hazy skies were coupled with an Environment Canada heat warning lifted late last week, with ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½nians urged to avoid outdoor activities, stay hydrated and watch for signs of heat exhaustion and stroke.
