Just three weeks after wildfire smoke brought the world's worst air quality to New York, the state is getting hit again.
"We’re already seeing unhealthy air quality in Western New York, Central New York and the Eastern Lake Ontario regions," Gov. Kathy Hochul tweeted Wednesday morning, urging people — especially those in vulnerable groups — to take steps to protect themselves.
Most of the state is under a "moderate" AQI warning, though its central regions have been deemed "unhealthy for sensitive groups" and its westernmost region "unhealthy."
