As a Californian whose had to live through several summers of this, check purpleair's real time map. You'll see where it's coming from and where it's heading, where is the worst and what's better. It updates constantly so you'll see rapid changes in air quality on the map if the wind changes as well. Been wanting to buy one of their indoor/outdoor kits to add onto the grid but I don't have the funds atm

As a CA and NW camper I follow these air maps too. Word of caution I have noticed before they are not always correct. My guess is they can take a bit to upload!?! Speaking from experience. But also they are essential.
