You don't understand. See below, Canada, where the fire is raging, is less affected by it than NYC that is 100's of miles away!
Not only that, they always have massive fires in California, I've never heard howls about bad air quality or about their airports being closed!

And I said you should check the weather shots from satellite view!
It will show you for the past one week the movement of wind currents over the Canada and the USA.
If you don't have the movement of the wind high up
It will be difficult to understand what is happening

Movement of wind or no movement of wind, there is no way your house that is the one on fire will have less smoke than mine that is down the road!

Okay let me try to explain with this analogy you posted.
Let us say on a street we have a stream of 20 houses .let us number these houses from 1 to 20.
Let us now say house number 4&5 caught fire.we would naturally expect either number 3 and number 7 to be affected but this is why we say weather is a critical factor in wildfires.
If it so happens that the wind direction blows from number 1 down to number 20.it will be practically impossible for number 3 to be affected by the houses of number 4 &5 been on fire because the wind is blowing the smoke and fire sparks into the direction of houses number 6 to number 20.
Now what if the humidity at that time is dryit means the rate of fire from number 6 to 20 is further accelerated but number 1 to 3 are still safe unless another weather phenomenon occurs that is a fire cyclone

But number 4&5 will be affected more than anyone else, won't they? Quebec that is on fire has less smoke than NYC!
Not only that, see map below - all those cities between Canada and NYC!

despite all the explanations. So what exactly are you insinuating

I should be asking you!!!
Trying to explain something that doesn't make sense.
All the news has been been about how smoke from fire in Canada has made NYC air worst in the world - not in America o, in the world! First thing any thinking person would ask is, how about cities in Canada??
Not only that, California has massive fires often, you never hear of their airports closing down or any big fuss about air quality!

I keep saying it the movement of wind.
That is why I said unless you view the satellite images of wind flow you will not understand!
It is like using another example to movement of a tornado.on the images you will think a tornado will form but it does not because wind pressure dramatically changed andvice versa.samething you will think how a tornado will miss a cow ranch and take the main house in its pass.all these because the wind changed.
It is the same thing yes there is a fire that is dependent on the weather to either become stronger or weaker.wether to move in a direction or not but it is dependent on the wind direction and pressure.

My friend no amount of movement of wind can make a place hundreds of miles away have more smoke from a fire than the place where the fire occured!
Doesn't even make any sense!
