nycwinter Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 as much as i hate it maybe being 95 degrees with a southwest would not be such a bad thing in the nyc area... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANDA Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Edge of the dense plume has crossed into my area. Air quality went down very quickly and the air looks very hazy and dirty all of a sudden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANDA Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Worse than yesterday. Visibility lower and smell is stronger. You can even see faint visible smoke a few meters above the ground. If I didn't know any better, I'd think something was burning a block away. Orange/yellow tint to the atmosphere and disk of the sun completely blocked out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picard Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Temps in NW Jersey running upper 50s to low 60s, adding to the apocalyptic feel of things. Some of the air quality spot readings are in the 300s and 400s between here and Syracuse. My eyes and sinuses are burning just sitting here in school. Insane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it would seem reaching the forecast of low 80s is going to be a challenge in many places 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cfa Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Orange tint on everything although the sky isn’t yet as extreme as some photos I’ve seen from upstate. Sun still visible but obscured with a UV Index of 4. Temp is 73, I think we’ll see mid 70’s at best today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILoveWinter Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Just nasty outside, went to pick up a sandwich and it looked and smelled considerably worse than yesterday and likely to get even worse. Busted out my good old KN95, didnt think they would come in handy this quickly! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucksCO_PA Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 3 hours ago, Picard said: Question. I'm looking at Air Now. Why is there such a large variability in air quality readings over such short distances? You can see green and red icons with widely different readings, within a couple miles of each other. It looks like they're all updating properly. Is it affected that much by the local geography? Green icons are locations just reading ozone, the other ones are reading both PM2.5 & ozone. Issue is obviously the PM2.5 pollutant. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
