A combination of heat and wildfires worried air quality officials who issued a smoke advisory and an ozone advisory, which warns of the likelihood of poor air quality in many areas.
. Both fires were first reported Monday afternoon.
By 5 p.m. Monday, AQMD issued a notice that air quality sensors in both Hemet and Big Bear still registered “good.” The streak of excessive heat, in addition to the wildfires, led officials to extend the ozone advisory, which predicts the increase of poor air quality in multiple areas. The advisory was initially issued on Aug. 29, but now has been extended through Sept. 7 as forecasters predict things will not begin to significantly cool down until later this week.
Levels of smog, which is the predominant summertime pollutant, are predicted to reach “very unhealthy levels” in the San Bernardino valley and mountains in the afternoons with temperatures hitting triple digits. For sensitive groups, air quality will likely be “unhealthy” in most inland areas across the region.
