Considering wildfires, and prevailing winds blowing from Canada, are expected to become more frequent, the impact on crops will remain an area of study.

The blazes have destroyed nearly 15 million acres of land, and the fire season is expected to go into September. With it comes the threat of smoky days in Minnesota and North Dakota.

Canada's wildfires have burned more than 13.6 million acres (5.5 million hectares) this year, an area roughly the size of Croatia, officials said Friday as the country endures one of its most destructive fire seasons.

Canadian wildfire smoke will significantly impact air quality across Michigan on Friday, with unhealthy conditions expected for sensitive groups and potential scattered thunderstorms this weekend.

"A lot of the prairies within Canada, the prairie provinces, entered the fire season already starting out in a drought, and so there wasn't a lot of moisture throughout the winter," said Alex Jones a communications manager at the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Center.

As the summer heat intensifies, people across Canada are facing the full brunt of wildfire season. Communities are being evacuated and properties are being destroyed as fires grow in size.

Minnesotans are inhaling another plume of smoke from Canada this week, and an attempt to blame Canada's handling of wildfires is being met with eye-rolls north of the border. Why it matters: Experts say smoky summers are likely the new normal in Minnesota and many parts of North America unaccustomed to dealing with the haze as climate change turns the continent's forests into tinderboxes.
