Thick smoke from Australia's catastrophic bushfires is still enveloping parts of Sydney, leaving residents to breathe hazardous air after skies turned orange and brown.
The air quality dropped to hazardous levels in many areas of Sydney and the surrounds area today, according to CNN affiliate Nine News Network.
Meanwhile, New South Wales is experiencing the "longest and most widespread" period of air pollution. Australia's Bureau of Meteorology said Monday that spring 2019 was the country's driest on record, fueling one of the country's worst bushfire seasons ever. As of Thursday, more than 117 bush and grass fires were burning, with more than 60 not yet contained.
