Smoke may insulate our overnight lows. It's 12:15 am and the Baltimore City mesonet site is at 84°.

Was up in Philly today. It was far worse than Baltimore, everything had a chlorine-esque odor. There was fine particulate in a lot of surfaces.

240 at a couple sensors now. very strong smell. visibility is trashed

Mid July now, we've turned the corner toward Fall. Days shorter, Mets suck, Giants football have zero hope at a Superbowl. Things are on schedule. Make sure to double wax the Iroc before the first freeze....that's very important and vital. 71F 11:50pm

It’s legit rn

I reluctantly went biking earlier for the first time in 3 weeks and actually didn’t find it too bad. But I just stepped outside and can absolutely smell it. It’s like a chlorine/smoke cross. This continent needs rain.

2026-2027 Super El Nino

This was a textbook frontloaded warm/backloaded cold winter. If we continued this into spring, I believe April 1983 was the coldest April on record CONUS. That one had a major freeze/snow event in the Eastern half of the country (impacting the midwest on the 13th-16th, and North Carolina northward on the 19th-22nd). -
You would hope that people with underlying health conditions like asthma or COPD would know to not exercise outside in these conditions. I assume it's mainly healthy people outside on the courts in these conditions. As many doctors have pointed out, conditions like today are manageable for most healthy people. They were able to play a baseball game in Philly this evening. People with underlying conditions can suffer an acute serious problem in conditions like today, but for people that are healthy it would take prolonged exposure (like weeks or months) to cause serious problems. Just a day or two in a reasonable AQI (like 150 to 200 like we had most of today) isn't going to cause a problem beyond minor issues like eye burning or nose irritation.

The reported AQI in Duluth, MN right now is 1129! I've seen a few others today just over 1000 in the upper mid west. We don't really track AQI regularly, but that is nuts. That cell down around LBI was nuts. I didn't smell the smoke as much sitting outside tonight, as I did earlier.

Both Spain and Argentina are the most obnoxious Spanish speaking countries on the planet - but they are both pretty awesome places to visit. It's tough. BA is an incredible, incredible city. Patagonia, Mendoza, the wine, the Andes mountains. But in Spain you have Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, just tons of beautiful cities. The food in both places is so so good. Both populations think they are they are God's gift to the world. It's a tough call.

"These stupid board settings won't let posters upload full pictures and the admins are too cheap to fix it!" Several posters proceed to upload a multitude of full-sized pictures. Too perfect. -
This was a beauty
