Many regions in southern Manitoba will see varying amounts of smoke through Wednesday while the smoke remains generally widespread in the north. Poor conditions will become more widespread again on Wednesday night.

Improvement is expected in northern Manitoba beginning early Thursday, but areas in the south will likely have to wait until Thursday evening.

Wildfire smoke concentrations can fluctuate over short distances and vary considerably from hour to hour.

The province will not issue burning permits for areas where municipalities have already implemented burning restrictions. The public is reminded to contact a local municipality or the local Manitoba Natural Resources and Northern Development office for more information.
