'Pack your inhalers': Sydney residents have woken to another smoky morning

Sydney residents have woken to another smoky morning, as prescribed bushfires and near-record late season warmth prompted an alert from NSW health authorities over "hazardous" levels of pollution on Tuesday.

Particle levels across the east and north-west of the city have been "poor" to "very poor" on average over the past 24 hours., NSW Health warned that poor air quality could aggravate existing heart and lung conditions, and was expected to persist into Wednesday. The NSW Rural Fire Service said in a separate statement that smoke from fires would settle "over the next few days", noting the forecast for light winds and stable conditions.

Rainfall for April and May is just 25.8 millimetres in Sydney, tracking for the second lowest on record behind 1888, Dr Trewin said.The return of the smog comes as public consultation of new state and federal air quality standards opens on Thursday.
