- zucked 3y agoWe've (Coloradoans)been dealing with wildfire smoke pretty much forever. On average our air quality is quite good, but fires in any of the PNW/SW states regularly impact our air quality during the spring, summer, and fall. We held the dubious title of worst air quality in the world for at least a day earlier this spring. It's been a little comical having this NYC air quality situation keep finding it's way into my news sources -- it's been a part of my life as long as I've been alive. I check the FireNow site as much as I check the weather during the warm month.
- googlryas 3y agoOn the Front Range, where most people live in Colorado (~Denver + north and south 60 miles), the air quality can actually get pretty bad due to inversion, and this has been noted since pre-statehood. We also are lucky enough to get a lot of wild fire smoke from California, Canada, the PNW, as well as our own home sourced wildfires. Maybe 2 years ago it felt like the whole summer was smoky, and we had stretches where the AQI was 500+ here in Boulder. https://denvergazette.com/outtherecolorado/news/the-brown-cloud-denver-air-quality-concerns-date-back-to-1800s/article_67d52fbf-cf8b-5e9d-8b71-f38fca214fb4.html https://denvergazette.com/outtherecolorado/news/the-brown-cl...
