Please click here to read the improved Current Air Quality Index (AQI) Readings for Ontario on Sunday, August 5, 2012, 11:00 am.

• A Smog Advisory is issued in your region when the AQI is expected to reach 50 in the next 24 hours.

• It can be lifted once the AQI is expected to reach or drops below 50.

Increasing cloudiness and unsettled weather are resulting in cleaner air in the air quality forecast regions listed above.

Hurray!
