Air quality here is unusually bad for some reason. Not sure what is causing it. The chart in my @homeassistant dashboard that just alerts me to quality was bright red this morning, causing me to look into the details.

#AirQuality #PurpleAir

Oh. Wow.

I was gonna post this at lunch, but my #PurpleAir device recognized the SD card for all of a day and now doesn't. So I went to the troubleshooting page and tried to follow the instructions and it still won't work.

It also said the service won't go collect back data in case of network disconnection.

Then why are you putting an angry red box around the floppy icon when it's not savingβ€½ What is the POINTβ€½

@StuartDNeilson oooh, thank you, I wasn't aware of #PurpleAir at all. The map shows me users in North Oxford (posh residential area) though, but not in #Oxford North (new business district fenced in by three motorways). All stations within the Oxford ring road appear to be fairly consistent in the yellow 50-something values right now, with some closer to the ring road touching 60.
The #PurpleAir map is a great proxy for "where is the #power #outage".

Is #PurpleAir loading for anyone else? None of the sensors are loading for me.

Watch: With two minute updates, PurpleAir sensors are small, easy to install and require only power and WiFi.

The red circles, with higher numbers, indicate poorer air quality. I imagine lighting off a shed load of recreational explosives may have something to do with that ! #fireworks #pollution #airQuality #purpleair

A favorite of mine, Windy.com -- which has had significant upgrades!

"In 2021, two new #ICON forecast models were integrated - ICON-D2 with local coverage for central and west #Europe and ICON Global. Thousands of new air quality stations monitoring primary pollutants worldwide were added from our partners #OpenAQ and #PurpleAir to fight #AirInequality.

"Several new layers were launched - Tidal currents featuring high-resolution data; the Sea currents dataset was updated; Thermals layer with soaring forecast for glider and paraglider pilots; Drought monitoring layers - Soil moisture, Moisture anomaly, and #Drought intensity, monitoring global drought.

"We also expanded into the wear OS category and introduced Windy Apple Watch App. The 3D Globe mode was brought back for most layers (desktop only), including the Hurricane Tracker.

"In 2022, we launched several new features and improved existing ones. In the beginning of the year, we added a new #radioactivity set of stations as a POI overlay and partnered with SaveEcoBot, run by a non-profit organisation SaveDnipro, and obtained a broad spectrum of environmental data sources in #Ukraine and offer them in an easy-to-access way to our users and other affected communities for free.
New local models HRRR for the US and ACCESS model for Australia were added, along with a set of layers wet-bulb temperature, UV Index and Solar power.
With release of iOS16, the Windy.com iOS app got LockScreen widgets, which can be placed on the phones's locked screen. A new significant iOS feature.

"For the #HurricaneSeason, we launched redesigned and upgraded our Hurricane Tracker and added multimodel forecast & LIVE satellite visualization. Users in the US could also appreciate an improved radar resolution and coverage."

PM2.5 AQI on the subset of PurpleAir sensors shown on AirNow are reading lower (e.g. 118, 106, 87, 90) than the same PurpleAir sensors shown on PurpleAir (e.g. 147, 137, 118, 119).

Maybe due to differences in the timing of the displayed readings?

Yeah. Same here. Orange haze on the horizon and grey above. Def smoke here cause we can smell it and the AQ monitor is buzzing.
