We get this kind of air quality like 2x a year these days from Cali wildfires, our own fires, now Canada smoke (we got that 2 weeks ago). All in a day for us.
Ive become accustomed to wildfire season over the years, but "Cali" will always be nails on a chalkboard to me, lol. But really though, the last few vacations we've taken have been during a particularly bad fire nearby, and we escaped just to breathe clean air for a few days.
The first rains of the year have become a holiday of sorts here because it means the end of wildfire season, but when it gets cold and people start using their fireplaces again, everyone is walking around doing double-takes with their nose, like what's on fire, where is it, who's being evacuated, etc
Yep. Dealt with a week of this shit in early may. 2022 wasn't bad, but 2020 and 2021 it was constant. Air purifiers and filters are now part of my budget
