What Burlington residents should know
- Air quality may be reduced where local smoke is present; consider limiting strenuous outdoor activity if you are sensitive to smoke.
- Strong northerly gusts (to 40 km/h) could affect light objects outdoors and make boating or cycling choppier; secure loose items.
- With a UV index of 8, apply sunscreen, wear protective clothing and limit sun exposure during peak hours.
Residents should watch for short-term changes and any updated local advisories if storms redevelop or smoke concentrations increase. Otherwise, the coming days bring a warmer, mostly dry spell before cloudier, cooler conditions and a higher chance of showers arrive by midweek.
