air quality
Elevated pollution levels are expected or occurring.
The Ministry of Environment and Parks in collaboration with the Northern Health Authority has issued an Air Quality Warning for Prince George due to elevated fine particulate matter.
Exposure to fine particulate matter is particularly a concern for infants, older adults, individuals with chronic conditions (such as asthma, COPD, heart disease, and diabetes) or respiratory infections, and those who are pregnant. Persons with chronic underlying medical conditions or acute infections should postpone or reduce strenuous exercise until the warning is ended. Anyone experiencing symptoms such as continuing eye or throat irritation, chest discomfort, shortness of breath, cough or wheezing, should follow the advice of their health care provider. Staying indoors helps to reduce exposure.
Current conditions are expected to persist until weather conditions change and/or local emissions are reduced.
The next update will be on January 25, 2026.
###
When air pollution levels are high, everyone should limit time outdoors. Consider reducing or rescheduling outdoor sports, activities and events.
You may experience mild and common symptoms such as eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches or a mild cough. More serious but less common symptoms include wheezing, chest pains or severe cough. If you think you are having a medical emergency, seek immediate medical assistance.
People more likely to be impacted by outdoor air pollution, including people aged 65 and older, pregnant people, infants and young children, people with an existing illness or chronic health condition, and people who work outdoors, should reduce or reschedule strenuous activities outdoors and seek medical attention if experiencing symptoms.

Exposure to fine particulate matter is particularly a concern for infants, older adults, individuals with chronic conditions (such as asthma, COPD, heart disease, and diabetes) or respiratory infections, and those who are pregnant. Persons with chronic underlying medical conditions or acute infections should postpone or reduce strenuous exercise until the warning is ended. Anyone experiencing symptoms such as continuing eye or throat irritation, chest discomfort, shortness of breath, cough or wheezing, should follow the advice of their health care provider. Staying indoors helps to reduce exposure.
Fine particulate matter concentrations have dipped slightly below the 24‑hour provincial objective, but air quality remains a concern as levels have been rising in recent hours. These conditions are expected to persist until the weather changes or local emissions decrease.
The next update will be on January 21, 2026.

snow squall
Brief, intense snowfall is expected. Visibility will be rapidly reduced due to the heavy snow combined with blowing snow.

An Arctic front bringing strong gusts generating poor visibility in blowing snow
When:
- Early this evening for Prince George
- Mid-evening to after midnight for McGregor

The front will move into the McGregor area this evening and end after midnight.
###
Travel will likely be hazardous. Visibility will likely be suddenly reduced to near zero at times. There may be a significant impact on rush hour traffic.
Snow squall warnings are issued when localized, intense snowfall causing near zero visibility is expected.
