Fair to report the AQHI as given by Environment Canada but it is a terrible index in my opinion. I use AQI since it does not top out. This business of going 10 and then 10+ means anything even worse always just stays at 10+.Said my 3 cents Canadian.

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.

The 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.

Smoke contains carcinogens. I am seeing close buildings fade away. #YEGwx #ABWildfires

My heart goes out to family and friends of the fire fighter killed in #Jasper fighting the fires in the park. May it be the last but we cannot know the fate of this fire.

Is there an active fire in Calgary or something? I’m looking at PurpleAir, and the air is catastrophically bad in the city and very quickly getting worse, but I can’t tell where the smoke is coming from. Nowhere near the city is anywhere close to this bad. Normally you can see where the wind is blowing it from an active fires(s). #YYC #ABWildfires #wildfire #AirQuality

Wow. The town of Jasper, one of the Canadian National Park jewels of the Rockies, under extremely serious threat of being overtaken by fire. Last ditch efforts are ongoing to keep the fire at bay.

How many wildfires are in Alberta now?
180
(AB does not count the two Jasper fires but is giving mutual aid. Seems many evacuees are now in AB.)How many are Out of Control?
56
(Not clear to me where Jasper sits in this stat.)Is this a normal fire season for AB?
Perhaps a town a year is now.

“Hazy” is the new “mild.” 💨 🦠 But it’s actually a pretty good article. The only thing that would be better is to mention the cumulative effects of wildfire smoke on *everyone* and that the 10+ AQHI measure now has limited usefulness. I often think we should just normalize talking about PM2.5 and tell everyone the level, with colours assigned (like PurpleAir). https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/hazy-skies-return-calgary-persist-1.7271906 #ABWildfires #wildfire #ClimateDiary #AirQuality

#Jasper residents being told to go to BC or Calgary. I don't know how they're getting to Calgary.

It appears there are two air ambulances on the way into Jasper, CWA924 from Grande Prairie and CWA935 from Edmonton.
Assuming they're coming in to help evacuate the hospital.
