Does rain clear the air?
The last 12 hours. Focus on visibility.
Nuff said.
= = = = =
Sidenote: I learned something from this "unusual" burst of bad air. On the first day, the OFFICIAL DASHBOARD was giving official alerts and official Mysterious Horrible Numbers!!!!!
PURPLE ALERT!
MYSTERIOUS AQI = 500!
UNCHARTED TERRITORY!!! LOCKDOWN!!!!!!!!!
So I took the STRONGLY RECOMMENDED ACTIONS and turned on my HEPA air filter full-time.
I also made my usual hour-long store walk during that PURPLE ALERT, anxious about possible consequences but needing to eat. Consequences: Dry throat for an hour or two. Nothing else.
After that, I experimented, turned the HEPA on and off several times, and concluded that it was doing more harm by stirring up the air and bringing drafts toward my nose. It's better to let the crap settle.
Lesson learned. With bad air as with "viruses", TRUST YOUR BODY. With bad air as with "viruses", avoid sudden overloads and forcible inputs. Allow the body to adapt to smaller loads.
