To be fair, it isn't this bad everyday in smoke season. The weather seems to have a big affect on where it goes and how well it dissipates.

Everyone I talked with about it agreed that yesterday was the worst day of the year (so far). A couple years ago I feel like we had at least a couple weeks as severe as yesterday. Hopefully it's not like that again.

I'm seeing a few people outside wearing respirators, more than during the height of the pandemic. Working for an hour outside without a N95 yesterday was a poor choice and I'm still dead exhausted from it. Going from inside to out, it's instant coughing and stinging eyes for me, and while others feel that too, it seems like my body has less tolerance lol. Definitely going to wear my resp today
