The AQI in Toledo, OH right now is 405! Cannot even see the city from the bridge

July has basically become unlivable in this region now lol

The sun here upon sunrise is a tiny red ball behind a thick milky sky, surreal.

Although the timestamp has updated, the actual goes image has not updated since yesterday. .

62F for the low in the valley in E CT; less humid and no smoke currently; let’s see what the day brings.

We might finally break the all-time warm low record at Dulles. Doesn’t look like they’ve broken below 80.

This summer is following the 2020s theme of top 10 warmth from June 1st to July 15th. This has allowed several of the warm spots around the region to record 20+ days reaching 90°. Harrison is in 2nd place for the most 90° days by July 16th.

luckily looks like the real high grade stuff should stay east of mby

May see a decent line of storms move through Saturday evening...probably some decent wind potential. maybe even a TOR

Hmm I dont smell smoke and this image would show the highest smoke density up North still

This could be the first event that is still a super El Niño into March using Nino 3.4

96 here yesterday with a dp of 79 seen a heat index at times of 112

Yuck. I think the highest I saw on my phone during Smokeageddon '23 was in the high 300s. 156 right now. Definitely has that hazy look and campfire smell.

Advancing smoke shield just after a cloudy sunrise.

All these wildfires have their own scent, this one is nasty

For now it’s not bad sitting at 115. But the extreme AQI is not far to our NW.

@Mitchnick Which models are you looking at that always show the trade winds coming back? Because you’ve been saying that for quite awhile now and all we’ve seen are record breaking WWBs, westerlies and a complete trade wind reversal

A little cooler here this morning at 69 degrees. We got 0.05" of rain from the storms that missed to the east yesterday afternoon. Despite that, the high was 95.

Good 2-part blog from last year on Canadian wildfire history outlining the role of forest management and climate. Canadian forest fires are less numerous than in the past; but, larger and burning a wider area. The cause of fires has transitioned from mostly man-made in the past to mostly ignited by lightning today. https://thetradeoff.substack.com/p/north-americas-forests-used-to-burn https://thetradeoff.substack.com/p/part-2-many-of-north-americas-forests

AQI 104-120 Yuck

70 degrees this morning. DP 69 Looks like the 90’s today for the high. Only made it to 97 yesterday. Missed a line of thunder storms.

Wait.... i thought we were going to have low dews for this heatwave. Dewpoint here is close to 80 lol. Yay! Smoky, hot, dry, super humid. I can't understand how anyone can love summer. Give me a 4:47 sunset and a -10 wind chill over this bs any day. And snow!! Feet of snow!
