Wow, I didn’t think the AQHI reported numbers above 10+.
We’d been hoping for a rainy Saturday in the Ottawa Valley too.
It does on a section under the graph. It’s not 10+ right now but this is where it reports the actual index.
Yeah the website doesn’t show it but the PurpleAir map does if you go there… you can also switch to the US EPA 2.5 scale and others as well.
