Extraordinary, even for the Big Valley.
And still smokey with AQI hovering around 100-150.

Worse, PG&E says they'll have to cut power in 17 counties in the state starting Monday night due to fire risk from high winds.
As soon as the floods come it'll all be worth it lol
Yeah, a lot of good all those windmills and solar panels are doing.
You mean where the giant spiders come up out of the ground and grab the neighbors?
Yep.
Happened back in 2015.
Reno is nearly as bad for several weeks.
California,
Double Downs
On Stupid.
There’s always a silver lining. In this case, we can argue it’s too late to do anything about climate change until it changes back to colder weather.
On a serious note, I hope you get relief soon. We had about a week of bad smoke in Colorado too, it has gone away where we are, but there are some north of Denver getting smoke now from a fire NW of there.
How’s those
Electric Cars?
What are you talking about.
It’s always hot in summer.
Some years more than others.
We had a bad fire and smoke season here in the Treasure Valley back in ‘06 or ‘07 (or maybe both years).
It was bad until October, when the rains usually start.
AQI right now in Boise is 153.
Mine’s 25 now, according to NOAA.
Everybody up in burn country, stay safe and keep your ears open. Someone I know escaped the Lightning Fire with seconds to spare. Had to open barn and gates for livestock, but PGE turned off power. Then it was a question of running for their lives or wandering in the dark barn to open the horse stalls. Seriously, the fire swept through with little warning and like a hurricane. Luckily all of this family were safe, and most of the animals. But now dealing with the pain about the beloved animals who didn’t make it as well as the moonscape...and what to do?
So, have your car packed now with essentials and don’t hesitate to leave if it comes your way!
Was that reported by a caller to Art Bell, or CNN?
Five days in a row between 100 and 110 in September is extraordinary here.
I was born and raised here.
We’ll set some records this year.
But it’s dry heat
I called the County Agent and he said to spray them spiders with lemon juice.
I only had enough lemons for my lemonade, so the giant spiders got like six or seven of the neighbors.
Good lemonade, though.
Nope, because I’m not clever enough to know what an AQI is.
Reality is coming home to roost in this poorly run 3rd world state.
In Minneapolistan it will be in the 80’s today. Lows will be in the 40’s this week.
Weather changes all the time.
Be safe out there.
You think you got it bad? Right now in Bakersfield they’re at 110 degrees and the air quality over the last few days is almost impossible. All the smoke and exhaust blowing down from the north through the San Joaquin on winds from 10 to 16 mph is piling up bad air against grapevine and they are usually having trouble any. This just adds insult to injury. Their current air quality index (AQI) is at 100 and they have had a recent high of 139, 11 points below the max. There’s worse elsewhere.
In Vietnam in 1969 we were in the “sticks” with napalm and high humidity. Smoke from the firefight was thick and it was hard to catch a breath. We destroyed a few clicks of land during that weekend...collateral. That might qualify.

Where’s here? California?
I lived in CA all my life. A week of 110 in August is totally normal.
October gets the hot hot days too. This year we have a few in September.
School used to start after Labor Day and I still remember some years when it was sweltering.
