Sunny but #hazy as #WildfireSmoke returns to #Maine Sunday
An #AirQuality Alert is in place for Sunday.
Emily Pike, August 2, 2025
"Sunday morning lows in the 50s and 60s, with highs in the 70s to 80s. Skies will be mostly sunny, but Canadian wildfire smoke will bring a thick haze for the higher elevations. An Air Quality Alert is in effect Sunday.
"An #AirQualityAlert is in effect from 1 AM to 11 PM on Sunday, August 3, 2025, for parts of #Maine and #NewHampshire due to expected high levels of #ParticlePollution.
"The Maine Department of Environmental Protection has issued the alert for the Western and Eastern Interior regions of the state, including areas in #Franklin, #Somerset, #York, Cumberland, #Androscoggin, and #Kennebec counties. The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services has issued a similar alert for #Coos, #Grafton, and #Carroll counties.
"Air quality is expected to reach levels that are considered 'Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups' due to a plume of smoke moving in from Canada.
"Those most at risk include children, older adults, people with respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, or emphysema, and anyone who is physically active outdoors. Even healthy individuals may experience mild symptoms and should consider limiting strenuous or prolonged outdoor activity during this time.
"High pressure is keeping things dry and sunny, which may allow the smoke to linger into next week, thickening into Monday.
"Looking Ahead: Maine is off to a dry start this August. Without significant rainfall soon, #drought conditions could develop, potentially affecting #crops and increasing #FireRisk.
"The 8-day forecast shows only a few chances for showers and slightly below-average temperatures, mainly in the 70s to 80s."

Japan's TV Asahi reported a case of wireless earphones igniting; probably due to recent hot weather causing the lithium ion batteries to overheat.
Probably not a good idea to potter about in the sun with wireless earphones attached to lugholes.

CW: Politics
The damage these #GOP #extremists are trying to do is horrendous - with damage increasing over time, and very long lasting. Environmental destruction (oil & gas extraction, removing constraints on polluting oil & chemical plans, water pollution, microplastices/PM2.5, building in sensitive ecosystems, building in high risk regions....) seems to be the goal.
On the other hand, a mitigating factor is projects in these coastal areas will most likely be uninsurable...

Lilbits: Oh the Humane-ity: AI startup is hoping HP will buy it for $1 billion
The Humane Ai Pin was supposed to be the first in a new category of wearable, AI-first devices. But it arrived this year to universally awful reviews citing its limited functionality, spotty reliability, awful battery life, and high price, just to name a few problems.
Last month we learned that Humane was looking to sell the company. Now a new report suggests […]https://liliputing.com/?p=169541

"#Pyrocumulonimbus clouds form when the heat of an intense #wildfire sends smoke as high as the lower stratosphere. When this happens, the pillar of hot, smoky air cools, and a cloud coalesces at its peak.
The #winds produced by these cloud formations are extreme and unpredictable. They can spread flames far faster than normal, and launch embers kilometres away, sparking fresh fires. And they produce #lighting, which can also pose a #FireRisk."

📖 Is the wildfire season becoming longer in Portugal? This was the question a team of scientists, including Miguel Carmo, set out to answer.
🔥 The results do indicate that the fire season is indeed longer due to early wildfire activity, especially in June, that shows an increase in its Fire Weather Index.
🔓 The paper is available in #OpenAccess: https://www.mdpi.com/2674-0494/2/1/6
