   Copious smoke from wildfires in Canada stretched from Hudson Bay to
   central Iowa on July 20, 2022. The heaviest pall covered Manitoba and
   Ontario, with a long river of smoke drifting southward across Minnesota
   and Iowa, thanks to winds from a gusty low-pressure system hanging over
   southern Ontario and the Great Lakes region.

   On July 20, the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Center reported 391
   fires actively burning across Canada, with 195 of those listed as
   “uncontrolled”. In addition, FireSmoke Canada fire and smoke maps show
   heavy clusters of fire across northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

   The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) acquired this
   true-color image of smoke from fires in Canada drifting southward on
   July 20. Most of the smoke reaching the United States almost certainly
   originates from the fires in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. This image is a
   mosaic, created by data collected from two different passes of the
   instrument over the region. Each pass is a slightly different color.
