Smoke smell and particulates in the air are not good in Toronto right now, we are just on the edge of air quality alerts this morning, and much of Ontario is already at great risk. It will get worse during the day, then a bit better, then worse tomorrow. This image is the current https://firesmoke.ca forecast for Thursday morning.
