It's pretty wild here in CT. Thick, acrid air. I suppose Californians have been dealing with this for a while, but I haven't experienced it in my life up here.

- mostlysimilar 3y agoNot just California, the entire west coast. Seattle's season breakdown has "smoke" slotted neatly between two chunks of "summer", typically lasting from late June/early July to late August/early September.

- lotsofpulp 3y agoWas there smoke last year (2022)? I don’t recall any. I remember 2020 being bad, and a few days in 2021, but nothing in 2022.
- Analemma_ 3y agoThere was, but it was "many weeks of sporadic AQI 80" as opposed to "a week or two of continuous AQI 200" like 2020 was.
- mhink 3y agoGod, 2020 was absolutely horrendous for smoke. Also, it was definitely noticeably smoky during the "heat dome" in 2021, which just made the whole situation that much worse.
