Attention Edmonton Air Quality aficionados:

The Environment Canada forecast includes the word "smoke" starting tomorrow afternoon, so you might want to air out your home while the particulate counts are still in the supergreen zone this evening.

(Thanks to @likelyjanlukas@mstdn.ca for ensuring that I will always think "supergreen" when seeing those really low particle counts.)

Now if only that brief stretch of sunshine had lasted long enough for me to eat supper & get where I was going without getting rained on...

I am MASSIVELY DISAPPOINTED to learn, in this Yesr of our Lungs 2025, that not even #rainfall necessarily clears the #air of #WildfireSmoke. 😢

@likelyjanlukas@mstdn.ca Yep. Lots of wet, smoky days this year. Although I figured out that particular truth after some bad days last year. I find the wet smoky days extra dangerous because I can't smell the smoke. Can't even detect heavier smoke levels by visibility when it looks & smells just like water mist.

Anyways, I hope you got your windows open last night but remembered to close them before morning. We're already in the mediocre-bad range.

My lungs are sensitive enough that I usually can smell it even in rain.

But you're right: it is nearly impossible to discern visually on rainy days. ☹️
