What is the Smog Alert Network?

The Smog Alert Network is a notification service that provides advanced warning that poor air quality may be on its way.

By subscribing to the service, there are three kinds of smog notifications that you can expect to receive by email. The ministry issues:

• A Smog Watch is issued when there is a 50 per cent chance that elevated smog levels are forecast to occur within the next three days.
• A Smog Advisory is issued when there is a strong likelihood that elevated smog levels are forecast to occur within the next 24 hours, or it can be issued immediately if widespread, poor AQI readings occur, and weather conditions conducive to the persistence of such levels are expected to continue for several hours.
• a termination notice once a smog advisory is over.

Smog Alert notification is provided all year round with the majority of alerts being issued during the May to September period depending on the weather conditions.
