I-Canada Wildfire Impacts i-Minneapolis, i-Indianapolis, i-Cincinnati, i-Columbus, i-Pittsburgh, i-Philadelphia ne-New York, Ukuhamba Kwe-US Okubi Kakhulu, Isibuyekezo Esisha Odinga Ukukwazi

NgoLwesihlanu, ngoJuni 13, i-2025

Intuthu yomlilo wasendle yase-Canada manje ishanela esibhakabhakeni sase-US—idala isiphithiphithi esesivele sithinta iMinneapolis, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New York. Intuthu ishubile. Isibhakabhaka simnyama. Futhi umthelela ohambweni lwase-US ungahle uba mubi ngehora. Manje umlilo wasendle waseCanada unomthelela kulawa madolobha ase-US athinta ngenxa yomlilo wequbula.

Izindiza zihamba kancane. Uhambo lomgwaqo luyahlelwa kabusha. Futhi amadolobha amakhulu ukusuka eMidwest kuya eNyakatho-mpumalanga akhipha izexwayiso zezempilo eziphuthumayo. Kodwa lokhu akukona nje okunye ukwesaba kwesizini. Le nkathi yomlilo wasendle yaseCanada ishisa kakhulu, ngokushesha, nangaphambili—iphusha intuthu ewugqinsi ijule emkhathini womoya waseMelika.

Phakathi naleso sikhathi, abahambi eMinneapolis, Indianapolis, naseNew York sebeqala ukuzwa imiphumela—emaphashini abo, ezinhlelweni zabo, nokuthula kwengqondo. Ukusuka eCincinnati kuya ePhiladelphia, ukukhathazeka kuyakhula.

Ingabe leli gagasi lentuthu lingaphazamisa amaholide ehlobo, uhambo lwebhizinisi, nemicimbi emikhulu? Ingabe ingayilungisa kabusha indlela esihamba ngayo? Into eyodwa eqinisekile: Uhambo lwase-US lungase lubhebhetheke, futhi isibhakabhaka sixoxa indaba.

Isibhakabhaka esiqinile, esimpunga manje silenga kwamanye amadolobha avakashelwa kakhulu e-US njengoba intuthu yomlilo wasendle yaseCanada ishunqa eMidwest naseNyakatho-mpumalanga. Ukusuka eNew York kuya eMinneapolis, nokusuka ePittsburgh kuya ePhiladelphia, abahambi abamukelwa yisibhakabhaka sasehlobo esicwathile—kodwa ngezixwayiso zezinga lomoya kanye nezulu elimnyama.

Umthombo? Isizini yomlilo evuthayo emahlathini ase-Canada, intuthu ehambela eningizimu nge-jet stream enamandla. Njengoba amahektha angaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-8.6 asevele eshisiwe, futhi kusazoshisa izinyanga ezishisayo, imboni yezokuvakasha ibhekene neqiniso elisha elingaxazululi—intuthu eqhutshwa yisimo sezulu ingaba yinto entsha evamile.

Okuhlangenwe nakho Kokuvakasha Manje Kuza Nesexwayiso Sezempilo

Okwakujwayele ukuba yizindawo ezifanele zekhadi lokuposa manje sekwendlalwe ngonkungu. Izivakashi zilindele ama-cocktails ophahleni Chicago noma ukugibela ibhayisikili eliwumbukwane Central Park kunalokho bayahlola AQI izinkomba nokupakisha imaski.

Izinkampani zezindiza ziqapha ngokuseduze ukubonakala ezikhungweni zokuvakasha ezibalulekile. I-Logan International, i-JFK, i-LaGuardia, ne-Reagan National bonke banolwazi ukusebenza komzila wezindiza kuhamba kancane emicimbini yentuthu edlule. Nakuba ukuvalwa okugcwele bekungakabikwa, ochwepheshe baxwayisa usongo luyanda.

Ezindaweni ezikhangayo zangaphandle—amapaki, izingadi, uhambo lokuhamba ngezinyawo—umoya ogcwele intuthu usongela ukuphepha nokwaneliseka kwezivakashi. Iphinde ibe nomthelela amanani okuhlala ehhotela futhi ukubhukha umcimbi, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni zasemadolobheni ezithembele kakhulu kuthrafikhi yezinyawo zasehlobo.

Ukushaywa Kwezokuvakasha Kwesizini Ngaphesheya kweNyakatho-mpumalanga naseMidwest

Isikhathi asikwazanga ukuba sibi kakhulu. Lokhu inkathi yokuhamba ehamba phambili. Imindeni, izihambi ezizimele, kanye nezivakashi zamazwe ngamazwe zitheleka emadolobheni ase-US ngemidlalo ye-baseball, amafestivali omculo, nezimpelaviki zamaholide.

Kodwa-ke, amadolobha okuyiwa kuwo njenge-Indianapolis, Columbus, ne-DC manje akhipha izeluleko zezempilo zomphakathi esikhundleni sokukhushulwa komcimbi. Abeluleki bezokuvakasha bafaka ukukhansela okwengeziwe. Abahambi bomgwaqo bashintsha umzila ukuze babalekele inkungu.

Ngisho amapaki kazwelonke kanye nezindawo zokungcebeleka ezingasechibini e-Michigan, e-Wisconsin, nase-Pennsylvania zisengozini encane njengoba ungqimba lwentuthu lushuba ezindaweni ezivulekile.

Imililo YaseCanada Isongela Ukuphindaphinda Kwenhlekelele Yango-2023

Isikhathi somlilo wasendle saseCanada siqale ngaphambi kwesikhathi—futhi sinonya. Ngonyaka odlule, i-US yabhekana nakho ukuchayeka kwentuthu okubi kakhulu emlandweni, ngezigidi ezithintekile. Umugqa wethrendi walo nyaka ufana ngendlela esabekayo.

Ochwepheshe bathi ukushuba kuhambisana nenhlanganisela ye isomiso sesikhathi eside, iqhwa eliphansi, “nomlilo oshisa kakhulu”-amalangabi asinda ngaphansi komhlaba ebusika futhi abuye abuse entwasahlobo.

Izifunda like I-British Columbia, i-Alberta, neSaskatchewan zikhiqiza amaphuphu awugqinsi, aphikelelayo. I umfudlana we-jet bese ethwala la mafu entuthu awela ngaphesheya Indiza yaseMelika, ikakhulukazi iqondise i Midwest kanye neNyakatho-mpumalanga.

Futhi ngaphandle uma isimo sezulu sishintsha kakhulu, intuthu izohlala lapha.

Ingcindezi Ekhulayo Ezinkampanini Zezindiza Nezikhumulo Zezindiza

Izikhumulo zezindiza zibuka izimo eduze. Izinkinga zokubonakala zingadala ukubambezeleka noma ukuphazamiseka, kuyilapho ukuchayeka isikhathi eside emoyeni ongcolile nakho kuthinta abasebenzi baphansi kanye nokusebenza kwetheminali.

Abashwalense bezindiza nabathwali bangase baqale ukulungisa ukukhava namathayimuthebula njengoba izingozi zomlilo wequbula zesizini ziba usongo oluqhubekayo. Kakade, amathimba okuhlela ezinkampani zezindiza ayadala umzila wezimo eziphuthumayo ezindaweni ezithintekile.

Ezinye izikhumulo zezindiza zesifunda zikhiphe izeluleko zomoya eziphathelene nentuthu kafushane, nakuba ukukhanselwa kwenqwaba kungakenzeki—okwamanje. Njengoba ukwanda kwentuthu kuyanda, kuseyindaba yesikhathi ngaphambili ukuhamba ngendiza kwezohwebo kuthinteka ngqo.

Izingozi Zezempilo Zenyuka Kubahambi Abahambayo

Kubahambi, ukukhathazeka okukhulu akubonakali: izinhlayiya entuthuni yomlilo wequbula. Lezi zinhlayiya ezincane kakhulu zingangena zijule emaphashini nasegazini, zibangele izinkinga zokuphefumula, ukucindezelwa kwamasosha omzimba, kanye nokucindezeleka kwenhliziyo.

Amaqembu asengozini—izinsana, abadala, abakhulelwe, nalabo abaphethwe isifuba somoya noma isifo senhliziyo- ingozi yokwanda kobuso. Ukuchayeka okwengeziwe kungaholela ekulalisweni esibhedlela noma izinkinga zesikhathi eside.

Ezindaweni ezihamba phambili zokuhamba zasemadolobheni njenge New York futhi Philadelphia, iziphathimandla zendawo ziye zanxusa izivakashi ukuba zinciphise imisebenzi yangaphandle phakathi nezinsuku zokuqapha. Abaningi manje batusa imaski, izihlanzi zomoya, nokushintshela ezindaweni ezikhangayo zasendlini njengohlelo oluzenzakalelayo.

Abahambisi bokuvakasha balungisa izindlela zohambo ngokufanele, kodwa akuzona zonke izihambi ezithola umlayezo ngesikhathi.

Amahhotela, Cruises, kanye Events Shift Isu

Amahhotela emadolobheni athintekile ayakhula amaphromoshini wezinto zasendlini. Ama-spa, amagumbi okuphumula, nezindawo zokudlela ziphushwa njengezinto ezibalulekile, njengoba imigoqo yophahla namachibi avulekile kuhlala kungasetshenziswa.

Imigqa ye-cruise isebenza Izindlela zeGreat Lakes nazo ziqaphile, ikakhulukazi ngokubonakala kwembobo nohambo lwaseceleni kwetheku okungenzeka kuthintwe ikhwalithi yomoya ephansi noma ukubukwa komkhathizwe okulinganiselwe.

Abahleli bomcimbi—ikakhulukazi amakhonsathi ehlobo, ama-parade, nezimakethe ezivulekile—bathintana nezikhulu zezempilo zasendaweni ngaphambi kokuphothula izinto. Eminye imicimbi isivele ihlehlisiwe. Abanye bayasebenza “izindawo zomoya ezihlanzekile” ngokusebenzisa amatende okuhlunga noma izigaba ezimboziwe.

Imibuzo Yesikhathi Eside Yokuhamba Nokumelana Nesimo Sezulu

Iqiniso alinakuphikwa: izinhlekelele eziqhutshwa isimo sezulu njengomlilo wequbula manje seziyingozi yokuhamba, hhayi nje ezemvelo. Izifunda ezazingakaze zicatshangelwe njengezindawo zomlilo—njengeMidwest neNyakatho-mpumalanga—manje sezithintekile ngokuqondile.

Abakhangisi bezindawo, amabhodi ezokuvakasha, kanye nabatshalizimali behhotela bazodinga ukuthi bacabange kabusha ukubikezela kwesizini, ukuhlela inhlekelele, Futhi izeluleko zokuhamba ezisekelwe ezempilo. Abathwali bomshwalense bangase balandele nezinhlaka zenqubomgomo emisha ehlobene nokuchayeka entuthuni nezixwayiso zekhwalithi yomoya.

Amadolobhakazi ake ancike ebuhleni bangaphandle manje sekufanele aphindeke kabili ekuqineni kwendlu kanye namamodeli ohambo avumelana nezimo.

Ubizo Lokuzijwayeza—Futhi Ulungiselele

Lokhu akuwona nje umusi esibhakabhakeni. Umlayezo. Ukusuka emahlathini ase-Canada kuya emigwaqweni ephithizelayo yase-US, isimo sezulu siyashintsha ukuthi sihamba kanjani-futhi kuphi-.

Njengoba umlilo uqhubeka uvutha, umbuzo akukhona nje ukuthi umoya uzosuka nini. Kuyindlela imboni yezokuvakasha ezojwayelana ngayo nomhlaba lapho isibhakabhaka esicwathile singeke sisathathwa kalula.

Ngoba kuleli hlobo, wonke umhambi unomngane omusha: i-AQI.
