TL:DR

Yo, Philly fam! Air quality lookin' sus. First it was Canada's wildfires, now it's ozone levels actin' up. If you got the sniffles or can't breathe, maybe chill inside for a sec. Things should be chillin' by the weekend, but more smokey days might be on the way, no cap.

The Deets

Aight, so listen up. Philly and the surrounding area just got hit with an air quality alert. At first, everyone was quick to blame them Canadian wildfires, and yeah, they low-key played a part. The air was Code Orange, which is basically saying it's not bussin' for anyone with breathing problems. But, plot twist, ozone levels also decided to join the party, making the air even more mid.

Last year was a real struggle, this year? Not quite as bad, but fr, if you got asthma, lung issues, or are expecting, maybe don't go too hard outside, especially midday. Shortness of breath, coughin', wheezing? Big L. Stay inside where it's air-conditioned and keep the vibes chill.

The good news is, things should be getting better soon. Forecast says we're gonna be back to Code Yellow for Friday and Saturday. But don't get too comfy, fam, cause this might be a recurring thing this summer. Wildfires are still burnin' in Canada, with over 200 going wild with over 100 of em fully out of control, so we might get hit with more smoke later on. Also, other states like Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and parts of Maryland are dealing with that Canadian smoke too. Over 10,000 people had to dip so better keep an eye on the forecast so you can protect your energy.

The state Department of Environmental Protection suggests everyone can do their part by "driving less, refueling after dusk and conserving electricity." Let's keep the air clean y'all.
