Smoke from wildfires in the western United States reached several northern European states.
The western United States has experienced the worst fires since 2003 this year.
Smoke from wildfires in the western United States reached not only the east coast of the country, but also several northern European states. This was announced on Wednesday September 16 by the European Atmospheric Monitoring Service (CAMS).
“When comparing fire activity in the United States to previous years, CAMS found that this year’s activity was tens or hundreds of times greater than the 2003-2019 average,” the report said.
Experts said the smoke entered the atmosphere over North America, the United States and Canada, after which it reached northern Europe. This is expected to happen again next weekend (September 19-20). Then the smoke will cross the Atlantic again.
According to US scientists, the climate is favorable for the smoke to spread eastward, The Associated Press reported.
“Sometimes a good amount of smoke overlaps the air currents in the upper layers, providing a general trend across the country. Now it’s happening again,” said Matt Solum of the US National Weather Service. In Salt Lake City, Utah.
Remember that great fires have raged in the United States since August. Heat and lightning became the cause of the disaster.
television channel CNN and agency Associated Press previously reported that wildfires in the United States have killed at least 28 people since mid-August. Most of the victims are in the state of California, where 19 people died in the fires.
