Wildfires in the western U.S. cause smog around New York

　　On July 20, local time, New York City and surrounding areas ushered in smog.

The media claimed that heavy smoke from large-scale wildfires in the west traversed the United States eastward and drifted over New York, which was the cause of the smog.

　　In the evening, New York City's Air Quality Index (AQI) reached 166, indicating that the air quality was "unhealthy".

Local media in New York reported that satellite images from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the United States showed that smoke and dust from wildfires in the west reached the skies of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut on the morning of the 20th.

　　Many New Yorkers shared their “dark pink” sunrise on social media that day.
