At 7am yesterday, we were at an air quality of 174. If you see the chart below, that put us in the "red" zone (unhealthy). Very close to the "very unhealthy" level on the chart. So there was no outdoor work at all. Areas within in hour from us were in the 300's - hazardous, stay indoors at all times.
We've been praying for good winds to change direction and give us a break. I was miserable all day, and the numbers reached to 204 (purple level) according to our local health department. I had to run to the store, and the library ( needed their fax service).
Speaking of library. I walked into our little library for the first time since Feb. of 2020. It's been that long since I've been to our library.
This morning we did a complete turn with the air quality. When I look outside, I do not see any haze at all, and the air quality number is a healthy low of 28. However, today there will be more rain. I am not sure how much time I will get in the garden, if any, but glad the air is clear again.
not here we are at 174, air is heavy with smoke and humidity.
ReplyDeleteFaith, I hope you get a break soon. It was miserable here yesterday. I am so glad to get time in the garden today. Much needed.
ReplyDeleteGood air = prayers answered! I hope it stays that way for you.
ReplyDeleteLeigh, it was so so nice to be able to go outside and literally take a breath of fresh air for once. I got a solid 2 1/2 hours work done in the garden too.
