Canadian Wildfires

Unfortunate but worth documenting for the boys to remember...

Beginning in March 2023 and increasing in intensity around June, Canada has been affected by an ongoing record-setting series of wildfires. These have affected all Canadian provinces. The 2023 wildfire season is the worst in Canada's modern history and has created major air pollution for the east coast. 

All outdoor activities including field day at school and all baseball playoff games have been called off all week. 

Lots of indoor time and too many video games but the smokey air isn't even enjoyable to be outside. 

Wildfire smoke descending from Canada is sweeping across the northern U.S., including New Jersey, and has created unhealthy and even hazardous air quality at times. The air quality improved slightly on Thursday but still remained a significant issue across the Garden State.

They say save levels or air quality are under 100.. What is the current Air Quality Index (AQI) in New Jersey ? The real-time air quality in New Jersey is 144 (POOR) AQI now ( 6/8) and with a record high over 250 yesterday ( 6/7).
