The Air Quality Index in my town is currently 260 (very unhealthy) due to a surge in wildfires in western Canada and the northwest US. There are additional smaller fires not shown on this map at this zoom level.

From the interactive map it looks like the worst air in the world right now.

Checking in from right in the middle of three of those big fires in Canada. We had air quality ratings of around 600-700 (according to purple air) today.

For parts of the day it was snowing ash.

It's truly awful. But I'm thankful I don't have to deal with asthma, or dealing with being evacuated.

I saw a news article saying we had the worst air in the world today, then I checked around in purple air and were a close second. A neighboring city was showing values at 800+.

Oof, I've been watching the satellite imagery this summer and you guys have been getting hammered. I just checked the AQI map and you have me thoroughly beat right now for the title of worst air. Hang tight up there, and stay safe.
