#ClimateDiary for Southern #Maine on 8/16/2024. The #AirQuality was so bad, I had the windows up most of the drive into Portland and back, and my partner (who is NEVER bothered by #WildfireSmoke or AQ issues) had to do just a short afternoon walk with the dog -- and gave up on doing some yardwork.

#ClimateDiary for 8/14/2024 in #Maine. Temperatures are in the #HabitableZone, but #WildfireHaze made the "clear" sky hazy white. #AirQuality not the best, especially in #NorthernMaine.

Canada wildfire smoke is creating ‘unhealthy’ air quality in the northern US

Smoke from Canadian wildfires is back and is spreading over part of the northern #UnitedStates, and it could spread farther throughout the week.

By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist

Published May 13, 2024

"In a replay of last year around the same time, wildfires in Canada have become more numerous over the past week. Smoke from those fires is being carried into the northern United States and will result in hazy skies and, in some cases, poor air quality, AccuWeather meteorologists say.

"Last year, large wildfires burned much of central and southern Canada and periodically sent smoke into the northern U.S. The Canadian wildfire season is expected to be near to above the historical average in terms of the number of fires and well above average in terms of the acreage burned. However, the numbers will be much less than those of the record-shattering season of 2023."

I'd love to see a photo of Mike Pence overlayed with a photo of the New York skyline right about now. No scratch and sniff please, 'cause I'd probably vomit. Here in Dallas it's just the regular Ozone alerts, so, nothing to worry about, 'cause you can't see it. These republican candidates keep popping up like poisonous mushrooms in nightshade

According to my feed today, East-Coast US is finally joining the West Coasters in the “wildfires and poor air quality really suck” club.

Welcome, condolences, and I hope that Important Political People over there will look to the skies and finally realize how real all this is so they can pass the needed laws and regulations to stop this. Statistics and degrees are great and all but human minds don’t recognize emergencies until they sense them directly. #ClimateChange #WildfireHaze #airQuality
