It is certainly worse now than earlier today as in the smoke is smellable and noticeable even in doors for me.

It was #5 or #6 yellow outside for a few hours today. The smoke has gotten worse here and I can smell it indoors now (south Edmonton).

It's been getting worse steadily since around 4pm. Cleared a bit after noon (when it was darkest, street lights were even on), but it's pretty awful now.

I have had Let It Burn (Live in Telia Parken) by Volbeat on continual loop for the past 2 hours.

This is f***ing nuts.

At 5am this morning it was Blade Runner 2049 level orange and mellowed to a yellow during the afternoon.

I go into John Wick 3 come out and walking to the car I needed a gas mask. The 23rd ave overpass looking over calgary trail to downtown couldnt see anything past 2-3 light poles.

Climate change has facilitated conditions that multiply the odds of fires starting and for those fires to be hard to contain. It's not a guarantee but the odds of something in the area being on fire are only going to increase year over year. Things will burn and it'll just be a matter of whether or not what's burning is close enough to Edmonton to affect air quality like this.

Doesn't help that it is another el nino season, as far as I can remember.
