At dusk high clouds were drifting above our village 20 km north of Phrae. 

Grey and dirty clouds. Coming from NNE.  -PM2.5-meter shows (on ground)

43 ug/m3, that's AQI 119.  image.png.b039e627b0002af6bb0d3411b0a544c7.png

The aqicn.org numbers are mostly green. - Let's hope the best.

The ventusky.com - model is a bit too dramatic?

I dont know. It goes very well with aqicn.org.

Friday - Fireday     A lot of smoke everywhere.  -  Nonetheless PM2.5

North of Phrae there is a blinding sun, the sky blue/grey. - PM2.5  33ug/m3 or  AQI 95.

This is    image.png.3972b8b230aaf0b5df2ee64e15c6bc4f.png

People with respiratory or heart disease, the elderly and children are the groups most at risk.

 

I take the numbers -if correct- as a warning.

Do you have an PM2.5-meter?

In addition to my own observation it calms me down.

That says it all

and

e.g.  Unlike manual harvesting, mechanised harvesters leave stubble and rice paddy straw in the field. Disposing of crop waste is time-consuming. After harvesting rice, farmers get only a short window to plant winter crops such as wheat and rapeseed, and late sowing means lower yields.
So farmers find it much cheaper to burn the residue, which accounts for about a quarter of air pollution.

 

 

Please, don't forget:

Anything above 60 is considered unhealthy.

60 ug/m3  correspond to an AQi of

North of Phrae was not too bad, but now 89ug/m3,

that's AQI 168. - Apart from that yellow/orange.

In the garden, different places:

PM2.5   93 / 173 / 197

AQI      170 / 223 / 247     image.png.5b28d6f4b3d4adbe6b0539993a3ded6d.png

People with respiratory or heart disease, the elderly and children should avoid any

outdoor activity; everyone else should avoid prolonged exertion.
