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...

Yesterday's forecast smoke turned out to be only mildly mediocre air quality. I had a nice mask-free evening on the patio at Blues On Whyte. It was cool enough (after afternoon rain) that I switched my outfit once I opened the door. And it was humid enough that I was regretting the switch as I dripped with sweat while dancing.
Right now, the Environment Canada 11am forecast has "local smoke near noon" but the real time air quality is SuperGreen! again. I had to zoom out to see where that "local" smoke went. Condolences to most of Saskatchewan & eastern Alberta.
(Note that graphic is showing microgram per cubic meter particulate counts, not AQI. A count of 35 is AQI 100, the point where I always wear my mask outdoors. Those purple dots are well into the extremely unhealthy level.)
