The haze has descended over the city’s skyline, significantly affecting the air quality in New South Wales’ capital.
Currently, the air quality in various parts of NSW, such as Sydney’s eastern suburbs, the Lower Hunter region, and the Southern Tablelands, is deemed subpar.
In contrast, Tiboburra, located in the state’s far northwest, is experiencing air quality classified as extremely poor.
Fortunately, Sydney is anticipated to see a gradual dispersal of the smoke as the morning progresses.
“Residents may notice and detect smoke this morning,” the NSW Rural Fire Service noted.
“Conditions are expected to improve, with smoke gradually lifting and clearing through the morning, assisted by a southerly change through the day.
“Please only call Triple Zero (000) if you see an unattended fire.”
Firefighters remain on the ground to contain the blaze, which has reached 408 hectares.
Another fire is not yet under control south of Nerong in the Myall Lakes National Park area.
The Nerong fire is around 4112 hectares in size.
