The AQI (Air Quality Index) here in Reno is now 228 "Very Unhealthy". It was 245 this morning. It didn't stop me from riding today, but perhaps it should have. The scale only goes up to 300.

Most weather websites such as Accuweather gives the number. Who has the highest in CA? Or is it all blowing into NV?

Enter in your zip code and look at your AQI and report it here.

-Don-  Reno, NV (cough, cough)

15  Parkersburg WV is what it put me to for the actual zip where I am.

Should not the contest be for the lowest number?

edit Maroon level is 301 and up.

I wonder how long it will take for the CA smoke to get to you!  There certainly is enough of it to go around!

It was almost 600 in Portland yesterday.

Isn't that off the charts?

BTW, Reno is now down to 108. Auburn is now higher at 128.

I've seen numbers over 800 so I don't think there's a hard and fast limit anywhere near numbers we'd see before it's literally not breathable gasses.

168 here in Antioch as I post this.

It is 180 2.5 PM at my home and I see similar numbers all around the SF Bay Area. The worst I have ever experienced was a 500 2.5 PM in the Santa Cruz Mountains one Sunday when I visited Alice's Restaurant as the fires there were at their peak.

Did that give you any noticeable problems? I had no issues riding my Zero DS when the AQI was around 240 early yesterday.

Right now, it is down to an AQI of 140 here in Reno, but it looks just as bad as yesterday out my window here. I cannot see the normally very clear views from this  5K' elevation hilltop of the casinos and Mt. Rose. I can only see smoke, just as yesterday.

While I was riding in heavy fog along the coast I was feeling OK, but once I got above the fog into warmer, sort of sunny, weather, my eyes started burning and my throat felt dry.

It has made me want a helmet with one of these built in: https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/3M-Professional-Paint-Respirator-7500-Series/

I think  that's an incorrect link, but you probably mean something like like this.

AQI is now back up to 198 here in Reno, "very unhealthy". They expect 223 here tomorrow. That number reminds me of an AR-15 (cal=.223).

Stupid link worked when I tested it.  Why have a readable url if everything is in the dumb code at the end?

I thought I was joking about the CA smoke getting to you.

But see here.
