I've never seen current weather condition listed as "Haze." Crazy. |

You are just getting a taste of what we deal with every summer.

Wonder if some guy visiting TN just got back and is still all upset and his brain is melting because his yard looks worse than what he encountered there....

NE Ohio, here. It smells like a smoldering landfill fire with burning plastic.
Sure the hell isn't wood burning in Canada. |

Yep, my two least favorite months of the year are soon to arrive.

Quoted: AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON CDT THURSDAY... The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources continues an Air Quality Advisory for Particulates from wildfire smoke...in effect until noon CDT Thursday. Smoke originating from Canadian wildfires has spread from north to south impacting PM2.5 concentrations at the surface. We expect this situation to remain highly dynamic over the coming days. Concentrations of Particulates may approach or exceed unhealthy standards. At this level of Particulates exposure, members of sensitive groups may experience health effects. The general public is not likely to be affected. At this time, we anticipate the eastern half of Wisconsin to see the heaviest surface smoke through the episode, from noon today through noon Wednesday currently appearing to be the timing of heaviest impact. The AQI will likely range from the UNHEALTHY to VERY UNHEALTHY categories east of the local area.

198 here. Air smells slightly smoky and we have had low lying fog (smoke) all day for days.

238-258 depending on which side of the Mahoning valley I ping and what site I use.

So that map is a bit off. North East OH is basically caught up. |

167 where I am now. Don’t care. Hanging out on the dock, drinking Weller.
ETA: With that being said, I love the Holmes county area. |

When it was almost 400 here, I was lucky as it never bothered me.
Some people were really struggling though. |

I'm about 100 miles E/SE of Minneapolis. The air quality sucks fucking balls here today. Visibility is noticeably less than normal and my nose and lungs are telling me to stay inside.
Seems like it's been about a month since we had more than a couple clear days around here. |

It's hazy in the building I work in. I can see smoke around the lights.
