New York City is forecast to have worse-quality air than Delhi on Thursday, as massive wildfires in Canada push hazy skies and dangerous smoke south. The city’s Air Quality Index (AQI) score reached Level Red on Thursday morning, according to AirNow, which is defined as unhealthy for everyone, especially sensitive groups, including the elderly, children, outdoor workers, and those with medical conditions such as heart disease, lung disease, or respiratory issues such as asthma. New York City’s AQI is expected to remain in Level Red (between 151 and 200) for the rest of Thursday, climbing to as high as 200 by the end of the day — meaning Big Apple residents will be breathing in worse-quality air than Delhi.
