The weather forecasting service AccuWeather clarified on Friday that the impact of smoke from Canada's wildfires will be minimal on the FIFA World Cup final, which will be played Sunday at MetLife Stadium in New York/New Jersey between Argentina and Spain, with more than 80,000 spectators expected. As a result of hundreds of wildfires in Canada, smoke covered a large area of the United States this week, prompting authorities to issue air quality warnings. The service stated that air quality may drop below 'good levels' on Sunday in East Rutherford, New Jersey, but fans and players can expect improvement compared to the 'poor to unhealthy' conditions forecast for Saturday. Meteorologist Adam Douty said: 'It may not be considered good yet, but it won't be as bad as Saturday. Humidity will also be lower, making conditions more comfortable.' The smell of smoke has been prevalent in New York and New Jersey under hazy skies this week, and local authorities urged residents to reduce strenuous outdoor activities. Expected rain on Saturday is expected to help dissipate a significant amount of smoke.
