Ugh. Pretty crazy you guys are getting the western style smoke out.
Cool sunsets and sunrises but otherwise sucks balls.

Idk if it's the ocean breeze or what, but we're staying fairly clear. 39 aqiQuote:

Upon further review ..... you guys are in big trouble.
Along with the rest of us.
400+?? Holy fuck
Use them n95s.
Also MERV-13 airfilters, or HEPA filters for indoors. The cheap hack is a box fan with a MERV13 furnace filter. Aha you say, I'll just put that in my furnace... note that many furnaces are not designed for filters this fine, check before installing.
Good luck and hope the wind changes.
In 2017 there was a 30k acre fire about two miles from our house. AQI was in the 450 range for days. Kinda looked like this at middayQuote:

We regularly get multiple days of 240+ around here
That looks like NY/NJ right now.
Wtf Canada?
The last fire fuckery in near Tahoe created 650+ days. 400 definitely sucks regardlessQuote:

Sorry to hear that the AQ is so bad. Amazon used to have corsi rosenthal box kits available. I’m not sure if that’s still the case. They’re cheaper and more effective than many portable HEPA filters.
View from friend’s work in midtown, no filter:

NYC is mostly around 400 now with high 400s and even a 508 on the beach on Long Island. As a cloud bank moves in from the north you'd think it would be moving the smoke ahead of and around it but, no. It's capping it and holding it tight to the ground just to my north now, the pics are dark grey with swirly air :eek:
Some say “get used to it.”
As Smoke Darkens the Sky, the Future Becomes Clear
Maybe it isn't sea level rise (water) that will make our lives miserable, but rather fire/smoke.Quote:

I read today that no major estimate of climate change fiscal costs including the costs of wildlife smoke days.Quote:

Then it got grim out my midtown office window yesterday.

Much better today...so far.
AQI peaked at 460 in CNY yesterday.
Is it too much to hope that this wakes more and more people up about the need for serious climate change action?

DC area in the 400's this morning. Baltimore and Philly 300's.Quote:
