The New York metro area is still suffering from punishing haze and choking smoke from the Canadian wildfires, but experts are hopeful a change in the weather could offer some relief in time for Sunday’s FIFA World Cup Final. New Yorkers woke up again Friday to “unhealthy” air quality levels, triggering health alerts as the Big Apple ranked fourth for worst air quality in the world among major cities, according to IQAir. Residents have been advised to stay indoors whenever possible and to limit strenuous outdoor activities – particularly those who suffer from respiratory issues.
