Winnipeg Wildfire Smoke Map
Track forecast wildfire smoke around Winnipeg and southern Manitoba using FireRadar's hourly FireWork model guidance.
How to read smoke around Winnipeg
Winnipeg can receive smoke from northern Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Ontario, the United States, or long-range Canadian fires. Flat terrain and changing prairie winds can move plumes quickly, while stagnant periods can allow fine particles to accumulate. Forecast smoke should be compared with current AQHI observations and health advisories.
Forecast, not a measurement
FireWork estimates near-surface PM2.5 attributable to wildfire smoke. It can differ from actual conditions around Winnipeg because emissions, wind, terrain, mixing, precipitation, and model timing change. Use current AQHI observations and local health advisories when conditions matter to health.
A focused starting view, not a clipped dataset
This page starts the national FireRadar layer around Winnipeg. The underlying FireWork smoke field is not clipped to municipal boundaries, so nearby conditions remain visible as you pan or zoom. FireRadar does not infer a uniform value inside a city boundary.
Health and safety limitation
FireRadar is an informational environmental map. Follow Environment and Climate Change Canada, provincial health agencies, local public-health guidance, and emergency authorities for health or safety decisions. This page does not diagnose exposure, determine whether outdoor activity is safe, or predict individual health effects.
