Environment Canada says hot and humid conditions are creating high levels of air pollution in Niagara.

You may want to avoid the outdoors for the time being. 

Niagara is under both a special air quality statement and a heat warning. 

Environment Canada says high levels of air pollution have developed due to hot and humid conditions. 

Higher pollution levels are expected to persist this afternoon through the evening. 

Individuals may experience increased coughing, throat irritation, headaches, or shortness of breath. 

The area also remains under a heat warning. 

The weather office says daytime high temperatures will range between the low to mid thirties today and tomorrow, with overnight lows in the low 20s. 

Cooler air is expected to arrive by Thursday.
