Brown, Chunky Air
The entire use case for Michigan is the great weather in summer.Winter is a complete loss, obviously, particularly here, where the average snowfall in winter is 75 inches. Spring is no joy, either, because it's cold, windy, and wet.
Summer, though. Summer is beautiful.
Now, though, there's a problem.
Due to the Canadian wildfires that have been burning for months, the air quality has been terrible. I mean "one of the worst places in the world" terrible, and it's been like this quite often during the last two months.
Today, it was in 156 this morning. Whose air was worse? Let's see:
Baghdad (208)
Kinshasha (158)
Seriously, that's it--in the entire world. For major cities, at least.
It's foul. It smells like a campfire. It doesn't look any better.
Here's the problem. The two worst Canadian wildfire seasons in history have come in the last three years. If this is a trend and not a blip, then summer in Michigan becomes not summer, but wildfire smoke season.
Why would anyone want to live through that?
