Air quality in every region of New York state will be "below concerning levels" on the Fourth of July, Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement Monday afternoon.

"With this forecast in mind, I encourage New Yorkers to get outdoors, watch the fireworks and celebrate our nation's independence wherever possible,” the governor said. “Conditions can change quickly, especially as wildfires in Canada continue to burn unabated, so state officials will continue monitoring the situation closely and I encourage all New Yorkers to stay vigilant and check the air quality in your community."

On Monday, an air quality health advisory was issued for New York City and Long Island, as the air quality index topped out at just over 100, which falls within a range that is determined to be unhealthy for sensitive groups. The air quality in upstate New York was better on Monday, with moderate air quality index readings.

Conditions were moderate across the entirety of New York state on Sunday, which means the air quality index level was between 50 and 100.

The state issued an air quality alert for the entire state last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Air quality index levels reached “unhealthy” levels (meaning air quality index readings were between 150 and 200) in the northern and western parts of the state, and reached “unhealthy for sensitive groups” levels in the eastern and southern parts of the state, including in New York City.

The air quality index fell to moderate levels in western and central New York and near Lake Ontario on Saturday, but remained at levels unhealthy for sensitive groups in the New York City area, on Long Island, in the Adirondacks and in the Hudson Valley.

These air quality index levels were much smaller than the levels reached in early June, when the air quality index soared above 400 in parts of the state, including in the New York City area, due to smoke from wildfires from Canada. Any level over 300 is considered “hazardous.”
