Today’s Air Quality is at a Hazardous level. It is hovering around 450 in Ann Arbor and the greater metro Detroit area.
We always joke about Art Fair weather being hot and stormy. While the temperatures aren’t horrible this year, the air quality is. I briefly went outside and said it’s like being in a smoky bar room.
