Yeah it’s a scientific measurement so they aren’t just saying it. But there are 4 measurement stations in Edmonton, thye use the worst one as the proxy. So Sunday was weird because Woodcroft was reading 10, but Lendrum was a 5. Leduc was a 4, so basically south of he river appeared pretty good. The government of Canada weather site does let you see air quality by station, but you have to click on it. The Alberta aqhi website is also helpful to see values in the region.Thanks the Alberta data is shit as is the gradient used. Its not a proper scale as 10 gets passed routinely. They've gone spinal tap in just often saying +10 now when that doesn't capture the scale of smoke concentrations more commonly seen now. Its crazy they use a scale of 10 to measure smoke particle concentrations that can get in the hundreds.
This Alberta smoke map is basically garbage.

Thanks again. I hadn't known of these much better sources.
If this is our future, and I believe it is, we need way more monitoring stations spread around and great access to that data, as it can be pretty spotty.
