    Default Smartphone App for smoke/air quality for California.

    Was chatting with John Quigley last night about Stripers in the Berkeley area when he said he was going to check out the air

    quality/smoke situation. I asked him how he did this and he relayed that he uses a Smartphone App "Local Haze", so I tried it.

    It is live time from sensors all over California. Tell me what you use and how you like this free App.

    Default Iphone only?

    Hey Bill:

    just took a quick look at the App and it seems to be Iphone only

    least ways I did not see an Android version

    I just use the same web page I use for my weather reports:

    https://www.wunderground.com/weather...ella/KCACASTE6

    it has a Air Quality Index rating.

    which has gotten worse the last two days.

    As I mentioned in my other post:

    https://www.billkiene.com/forums/sho...d-air-is-clear

    the wind has shifted back to coming from the south just in time for the week-end

    if you look at the 10-day forecast there is a section that shows the wind forecast

    considering it was 455 yesterday here in the neighborhood, 169 sounds great

    really sad situation up and down the west coast. N. Umpqua drainage is also burning now.

    Bill,
    Currently reading 76 @ La Jolla Shores; we have our
    first big fire of the year - Valley fire east of San Diego.
    Guess we should have been raking those forest leaves.
    Right?
    Best to all Kiene members.

    We left Sacramento for Driggs on Tuesday. By the time the sun came up Weds, it was about 170 in Driggs and 70 in Sacramento

    Now much better in both places. We got big thunderstorms in Driggs on Saturday night which cleared the air nicely for Sunday. Unfortunately we had to come back here yesterday.
