Wildfire smoke is returning to Victoria’s skies today

Share

Throwback Tuesday doesn’t quite have the same ring to it…

Even so, Victoria will once again experience smokey skies today and tonight. It appears the smoke is drifting north from Northern California, Oregon and Washington.

According to firesmoke.ca, the haze will last for about a day, peaking on the evening of August 29, then dissipating the following morning.
