As reported by Maltese Islands Weather, smoke from extensive fires in Canada managed to reach the central Mediterranean and, by extension, the Maltese islands.
This happened due to the smoke combining with several storm systems across the Atlantic, Northern Europe and the Mediterranean.
This means the smoke has travelled a whopping 8,000 kilometres across the world.
As of August 19th, there were 375 active wildfires burning with 127 out of control, across British Columbia in Canada.
According to It-Temp Madwarna, Malta received black soot from Etna eruptions, fine desert sands from African deserts and smoke from the forest fires in the American continent.
