donsutherland1 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 This evening, well before sunset, the thick smoke from Quebec's distant wildfires obscured the sun from view. The heavy musty smell of the acrid smoke hung through the air. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cfa Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Indoor air quality has deteriorated over the past few hours, I have an air purifier with a wildfire filter (for cooking smoke) and it’s barely keeping up. The sky is brown now, looks very ominous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravity Wave Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I didn't notice any smell walking home today around 6:00, but I just stepped out onto the balcony and the smoke smell was very apparent. Wild stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picard Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I was just panning around the website purpleair. The site is slow to load, but it looks like a couple of the stations are periodically topping 300 PM AQI. I don't know exactly what that means, but I do know it's the deepest red and highest category of alert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 An extended period of generally cooler than normal temperatures is ongoing. No return to summerlike heat is likely through at least mid-month. Tomorrow will be another smoky day in the region. The smoke could again be especially thick during the evening. The generally dry weather will continue, though early next week has some potential for at least a moderate rainfall. The latest ECMWF weeklies suggest that sustained warmer than normal conditions could develop during or after the second week of June. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +2.3°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.8°C for the week centered around May 31. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +2.25°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.50°C. El Niño conditions are developing. The SOI was -1.76 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -1.496 today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the obvious choice would be to close it, and keep your house closed up tight until this passes. Ours is. If you have an air purifier, I would use it if it's affecting your health. Maybe run an air conditioner too? Minimize your time outside. This too shall pass, although the next couple of days is going to suck. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
