Delay in delivery of goods! Mountain fire smoke seriously affects Australia

On Tuesday, November 19, smoke from a forest fire near New South Wales caused Sydney's air quality rating to reach a “dangerous” level.


On Tuesday morning local time, strong winds brought a lot of smoke, resulting in extremely low visibility. In central Sydney, air quality levels are poor, and in the northwest, the air quality at Rouse Hill is dangerous.

Health officials warned people with asthma or other breathing problems to stay indoors and avoid outdoor activities as a preventive measure. The NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) warned that smoke will continue to hang around the city in the next few days. Smoke alarms have been in effect in the northeastern part of New South Wales, including Taree, Port Macquarie, Kempsey and Sydney.

More than 1 million hectares (2,471,053 acres) of land have been burned since the forest fires in New South Wales on October 9. The authorities said the fire was caused by high temperatures and drought. At least six people were killed and 530 houses were destroyed by forest fires.

Wildfires are an annual event in Australia from December to February; however, since September 2015, the authorities have been on high alert due to abnormally high temperatures, prompting scientists to speculate that climate change may prolong and exacerbate the fire season. strength.

Affected by this, services such as the delivery of related goods will be delayed.
