If anyone following me is from Alberta or especially Nova Scotia, I hope you're doing okay.

Me and my asthmatic lungs have been cursing your fires for weeks -- the sky above my New England home has once again been hazy orange all day, and I've been hitting my inhaler hard -- but I know you're suffering far more than I'm being inconvenienced.

Smoke on Monday. Surreal skies and toxic air. #albertafires #alberta second picture was taken this morning. Beautiful mist, cold, clean air after a solid rain.

It might LOOK better out, and it is, but it's still high enough an N95 mask, or any mask if you don't have an N95, is a good idea. Anything over about 25 micrograms per meter cubed of PM2.5 hurts your health, cognitive ability, and can cause both short term and long term effects. #YEG #AlbertaFires

Alberta has endured some of the worst air quality in the world this week, as wildfire swirls

Smoke from the Alberta fires is creating some wicked Chicago sunsets, including the Pac-Sun. 👻

#sunset #Chicago #AlbertaFires #pacman

Smoke covers the sun making it look like a glowing red Pac-Man

Smoke crosses the hot pink sun in a wide grey band as it sits above the silhouette of a bush.

The top of the sun is covered in grey smoke. The bottom is yellow lined with red with a hot pink glow around it.

The sun looks light pinkish yellow with a red border and pink glow.

#alberta #albertafires unpleasant here these days. Terrible for the people who lost their homes and livelihoods. So many animals died and dying. Here at our home the humans, dogs and cats can stay indoors. My horses and all the other animals get to breathe in toxicity 24 hours a day.

if you were wondering why it’s been so hazy in #Seattle lately, it’s because #wildfire season already started 😓😵‍💫 #Alberta #Canada #albertafires https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6846377

Very smoky sunset in Federal Way tonight due to smoke aloft from #albertafires. Thankfully no air quality impacts, and it makes for a pretty sunset. First time I can remember smoke in the spring. #wawx

It’s forest fire season again…

https://earth.nullschool.net/ is a great tool for visualizing all kinds of atmospheric and oceanographic data. This is a visualization of carbon monoxide surface concentrations. The fires in Alberta and British Columbia are clearly visible.

Screen cap of a window with https://earth.nullschool.net/ loaded. The parameters are set to show ocean currents and surface concentration (over land) of carbon monoxide.
The map shows Canada and the eastern half of the United States.
The main sources of carbon monoxide are visible as reddish-orange plumes coming from forest fries in British Columbia and Alberta. The plumes appear to carry the gas to the south and east.

Just how bad is the air in Calgary right now?

This chart shows the past five days.

Huge spike in particulate matter on Tuesday and, after a brief reprieve overnight, it's surging again today. 😷
