Lingering smoke from bushfires will again create poor air quality in parts of Sydney on Tuesday.
Air quality reached hazardous levels in parts of southwestern Sydney on Monday evening and was recorded as poor in parts of the city's east.
The state government says air quality on Tuesday will be"poor due to particles" from the extensive smoke coming from bushfires burning across the state. A temperature inversion forming over the city on Monday night could trap smoke in the Sydney basin on Tuesday, the NSW Rural Fire Service says. "Smoke levels are expected to be similar if not worse than experienced over recent mornings," the NSWRFS said in a statement.
Heavy smoke will remain over Sydney tonight. A temperature inversion means the smoke will settle and be very thick in the morning too. Take precautions to limit your exposure to smoke.
