Anyone Bayside/SE burbs smell that smoke in the air? I know it was forecast to be a foggy start to the day, but it has this weird aroma to it and our air purifier is going nuts.
Yes it smells industrial
Been hazy and smokey over here in the western suburbs for a few days. Today seems a bit worse though.
I use this tool to see the air pollution in real time. https://aqicn.org/here/
The closest one to me says that the from the 29th something suddenly polluted the air. Not sure what it is, but could be bushfires or a factory mishandling something.
The one in Sandringham says the air's worse for some reason. Currently at "unhealthy". Best to stay indoors.
the sandi and brighton ones can be misleading at times as they basically get caught in "pools"
ayup, there be smokies
They're doing controlled burns over Easter weekend. Lots of them.
Itβs been awful in the hills. Generally itβs cleared by the afternoons but this afternoon itβs hit quite thick. Canβt see the hills at all
