Jun 11, 2025, 3:17 AMThe smoke just seemed to get stronger so checked my AQI app. Sure enough.
My closest station reads 162. I have seen higher but still unhealthy.

From the same app, here is a view across the city of Edmonton. Most reading are in the 100 to 200 range.

However, in the city there are two station which perhaps need some calibration. They were at 3 and 2 earlier. Now, they have made it up to 15 and 14. The ONLY two stations down there in the green.
Reading 14 now when you can see the haze of smoke against the houses across the street is laughable. Perhaps they think they can push the average down doing this. A Q test would toss these data points out.

Just ignore the green anomalies because those are probably the readings from an indoor AQI monitor. Lambton Park readings are always some of the worst in the city.- Jun 11, 2025, 11:28 AM

If the geolocation is correct, they are not inside. Still, that might be the reason for the errors. They are consistent and slightly amusing.

App is AirVisual on iPhone but seems to draw from a network called IQAir. I cannot look to see if out there on other platforms. - Jun 11, 2025, 1:51 PM
