The Air Quality Index in my town is currently 260 (very unhealthy) due to a surge in wildfires in western Canada and the northwest US. There are additional smaller fires not shown on this map at this zoom level.
From the interactive map it looks like the worst air in the world right now.
Gotta love climate change
Checking in from right in the middle of three of those big fires in Canada. We had air quality ratings of around 600-700 (according to purple air) today.
For parts of the day it was snowing ash.
It's truly awful. But I'm thankful I don't have to deal with asthma, or dealing with being evacuated.
I saw a news article saying we had the worst air in the world today, then I checked around in purple air and were a close second. A neighboring city was showing values at 800+.
Oof, I've been watching the satellite imagery this summer and you guys have been getting hammered. I just checked the AQI map and you have me thoroughly beat right now for the title of worst air. Hang tight up there, and stay safe.
Sorry guys. Shit's kinda fucked up here, but there are some real heroes getting busy up here. We're almost out of stuff to burn I think, and people keep stealing fire fighters gear to try and save their own property so yeah, at this rate, climate will win shortly and there won't be anything left soonish.
Again, sorry guys.
living in the pnw rn is great my lungs feel spicy
Today is a LOT better than. Yesterday, I'll be very glad to be at home later where my AC filters are keeping my place breathable.. did t have that the last time this was an issue and wow. Makes a BIG difference.
I've had the AC filters, and they make a difference, just don't forget to change them afterward. I also ended up buying one of those home air purifier things (something I never thought I'd do), and that's helped with the air in my bedroom at night as well - I'm no longer waking up with headaches. That plus an N95 mask outside and I'm actually doing okay!
Hello from Spokane, where we were literally off the chart yesterday! (AQI of 511 out of 500!) I went outside for five minutes to water the garden and my eyes were stinging and teary for a while afterwards.
But nobody gives a shit unless it's the east coast, because this has happened nearly every year for the past 5 years. At least I can see the sky today.
looking at that wind map, you're just sitting in the worst possible formation there.. absolutely no air is getting out of that low pressure system.. it's like you're in a vacuum sucking in the bad air..
take care everybody
Suddenly, living in a sprawling Asian metropolis doesn't seem so bad. Today's AQI was mid 50s, which is pretty good for my city.
Right now it's rainy season so it's not that smoggy. Gets worse toward the end of dry season though.
Starting to get better slowly here in Portland. There's still smoke high in the atmosphere though making everything look like shit.
