WxWatcher007 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I do think this is one of Canada’s worst wildfire seasons in recent memory. I mean, I can’t recall the extent of wildfires this early in eastern Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The official reporting I've seen from Quebec is that most of the fire starts have been lightning (because there aren't any humans in some of these areas). yeah but have you heard of the cocaine bear(s)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I couldn't remember a day with AQI this high so I traveled to the CT.gov site, and looked up historical AQI data. I reviewed last 20 years, AQI above 100, using 8hr AQI highs. The data suggests an over performing, and highly anomalous event. Already nearing 160 AQI in Cornwall, where 112 AQI was predicted by DEEP. It has been very dry over past few weeks. The mix of that alongside dry conditions gives this day a post apocalyptic feel. don’t see a reading over 100 AQI at any site since 2016. According to the CT Gov site, the AQI max for today will vary between 126 AQI and 114 AQI. This would make it quite the day in terms of air pollution compared to historical data if this is accurate. 2003, JUNE 25TH, STRATFORD, 125 AQI 2003, JUNE 25TH, MADISON, 124 AQI 2003, JUNE 26TH, GREENWICH, 124 AQI 2006, JUNE 18TH, WESTPORT, 117 AQI 2003, JUNE 27TH, MADISON, 117 AQI 2003, JUNE 26TH, MADISON, 115 AQI 2003, JUNE 26TH, STRATFORD, 114 AQI 2003, JUNE 26TH, GROTON, 113 AQI 2003, JUNE 26TH, WESTPORT, 113 AQI 2003, JUNE 27TH, GROTON, 112 AQI 2003, JUNE 25TH, WESTPORT, 112 AQI 2006, JUNE 18TH, EAST HARTFORD, 111 AQI 2004, JUNE 9TH, MADISON, 111 AQI 2006, JUNE 18TH, MIDDLETOWN, 110 AQI 2005, JUNE 26TH, DANBURY, 110 AQI 2005, JUNE 26TH, MIDDLETOWN, 110 AQI 2003, JUNE 25TH, GREENWICH, 106 AQI 2005, JUNE 26TH, MIDDLETOWN, 106 AQI 2005, JUNE 26TH, STAFFORD, 106 AQI 2003, JUNE 25TH, DANBURY, 106 AQI 2008, JUNE 10TH, GREENWICH, 105 AQI 2005, MAY 25TH, MADISON, 105 AQI 2006, JUNE 18TH, STAFFORD, 105 AQI 2003, JUNE 24TH, GREENWICH, 105 AQI 2012, JUNE 29TH, GROTON, 104 AQI 2003, JUNE 25TH, GROTON, 104 AQI 2003, JUNE 25TH, DANBURY, 103 AQI 2007, JUNE 27TH, STRATFORD, 101 AQI 2010, SEPT 2ND, STRATFORD, 101 AQI 2011, JUNE 8TH, WESTPORT, 101 AQI 2018, JULY 22ND, MIDDLETOWN, 100 AQI 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
