When it comes to wildfire impacts, the summer of 2025 is shaping up to rival 2023 in terms of the number of days with air quality advisories and alerts.
As this issue continues to be a concern for Michigan residents, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) Air Quality Division has released a new webpage dedicated to information and resources for the public.
The new webpage houses resources related to how EGLE responds to wildfire smoke events, and details what you can do to learn more, or even to participate in data collection with your own air quality sensor. It also includes a helpful link to the Department of Health and Human Services’ Your Health and Wildfire Smoke webpage. EGLE’s three meteorologists forecast air quality and are integral in sharing advisories and alerts to Michigan residents. To recognize the difference between advisories and alerts, you can watch Don’t just check the weather – check the air. This short video shows EGLE’s meteorologists discussing advisories and alerts, as well as the Air Quality Index or AQI.
Smoky skies over a lake. EGLE’s meteorologists use weather models to forecast air quality. That information is shared with the National Weather Service and media across the state. In fact, the weather app on your phone contains their forecasts on air quality.
The meteorologists issue advisories when levels of ozone or PM2.5 are expected to be “unhealthy for sensitive groups” range. An alert is issued when levels of ozone or PM2.5 are expected to be “unhealthy”, “very unhealthy” or “hazardous.” Advisories and alerts help to warn the public when air quality may be bad enough to impact them.
Pollution days and number of advisories and alerts over time. Note: Only Air Quality Alerts were issued in 2023. Air Quality Advisories were not in place until 2024. Alerts are issued when pollution levels in the Unhealthy Red or higher are expected. In 2023, an alert was called for any impacts, “unhealthy for sensitive groups” or higher. The use of advisories was implemented in 2024. During the unprecedented summerlong event in 2023, wildfire smoke significantly impacted Michigan air quality with 31 alerts. Impacts from wildfire smoke continues to be a problem in Michigan. In 2025 to date, EGLE issued advisories on 27 days and alerts on 4 days. EGLE’s Advisory and Alert Program Report has full details of days and areas when air quality was forecasted to impact the public and what areas were effected.
