Environment Canada has issued a Special Air Quality Statement for Houston.
This is due to a high amount of dust in the air that will remain until weather conditions change.
Those with chronic conditions such as asthma, COPD, heart disease, and diabetes; respiratory infections such as COVID-19, pregnant women, infants, and older adults should reduce physical activity and stay indoors.
Anyone experiencing symptoms such as continuing eye or throat irritation, chest discomfort, shortness of breath, cough or wheezing, should contact their health care provider.
A full forecast for Houston can be found on Environment Canada’s website.
