athena1277 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 We live far enough south that we have not really been impacted by the bad air quality from the Canadian wildfires, but dd is going this weekend to Michigan, which I know has had some bad air quality days recently. Is it getting better finally? Or will it possibly get really bad again if the winds blow that way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Doing better here (Ontario, near Quebec), but I've heard that there are more fires in the BC interior. They'll likely be more fires in BC - there always are through the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith-manor Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) I am on the Lake Huron side. Yesterday our morning AQI was 33. Today it is 75. But it is going to drop tonight and may be in the 30's again. Detroit and Kalamazoo have had horrible air. Very very bad. So it is going to depend on where she is going. At our worst, we have not been as bad as Detroit, Grand Rapids, or Muskegon. Edited July 5, 2023 by Faith-manor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acorn Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 My part of Ohio smells smoky again. I’m not sure if that is the remnants of every firework all the time or winds from Canada. I just looked and air quality is 63, so much better than the nearly 200 last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catz Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Well I've been in Wisconsin and Minnesota parts the last 5 days and all has been well. When we've had it, it's like it just pops up. Seems not super predictable. And it would be bad for a couple days and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acadie Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 I’m in Northeast Ohio and ours is 105 today, after a break of a few days where we could be outside. 105 is way better than our peak around 300, but I still smell smoke and feel it in my throat. Had hoped to swim and eat on our patio today but the air isn’t healthy enough for that. I’m realizing how much time I typically spend outside and how much joy and emotional health it brings me on a daily basis. Really not a fan of this winter-in-summer staying indoors vibe!
