Manchester, N.H. – Hot, smoky air will blanket Manchester and much of southern New Hampshire through Tuesday, with temperatures nearing 90°F and haze keeping air quality concerns front and center for residents and commuters. Smoky conditions from distant wildfires will stick around, potentially impacting outdoor activities and those with respiratory sensitivities.
According to the National Weather Service, widespread smoke and haze are expected to linger across the region through Tuesday morning, with visibility and air quality reduced, especially overnight and during the early hours. Highs Monday will reach near 90°F under smoky skies, while overnight lows hover in the low to mid-60s. Tuesday brings continued haze before partial clearing by afternoon.
Drivers and outdoor workers in Manchester, Nashua, and surrounding towns should plan for reduced visibility and avoid strenuous activities outside. Residents are urged to keep windows closed and use air purifiers if sensitive to air pollution. Light winds and calm conditions mean smoke will be slow to clear, with some patchy fog possible overnight.
Relief arrives by Wednesday as skies turn partly sunny and humidity drops, but anyone with breathing issues should remain alert for updated advisories. Additional air quality alerts may be issued if smoky conditions persist.
