Air Quality Alert Warning In New Hampshire; Nice Summer Weather: Forecast

CONCORD, NH — An air quality alert has been issued by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services — leading to a warning by the National Weather Service, too.

The department and forecasters are warning of “unhealthy air quality” across the entire state through Monday night due to wildfires from Canada. Children and the elderly, as well as anyone with lung disease or breathing issues, and those who are active outdoors, should take precautions.

“Even healthy individuals may experience mild health effects and should consider limiting strenuous or prolonged outdoor activities,” the NWS said.

The alert was issued Sunday night.

On Monday, expect widespread haze in the late morning and early afternoon, and then smoke after 1 p.m. with sunny skies. Highs will be in the upper 80s. Overnight laws will be in the mid-60s.

Expect similar weather on Tuesday — sunny skies with highs in the mid-80s and overnight lows in the upper 50s.

The weather is expected to be the same on Wednesday and Thursday.

The weekend is also looking good.
