United States and Canada, June 2023

For 6 days, from 14 to 19 June 2023, 195 cities in the United States and Canada had PM2.5 at least twice their usual for the time of year. The worst reading was Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States: 105.0 µg/m³ on 14 June, about 17× its usual 6.3. Ended 19 June.

Likely smoke from firesFires were detected within 300 km of the city on 64% of the counted city-days and smoke was mapped over the city on 84%. Satellites see crop, field and forest fires alike, so this doesn't say which burned.

An episode is a run of days when many cities close to each other (four or more within 350 km on a day, 8 or more in all) each had a daily PM2.5 mean of at least 25 µg/m³ and at least 2 times their usual for that time of year. Found in our own measurements, not picked by hand. How we find episodes. Values are each city's daily mean of its own monitors; causes are the usual kinds for a pattern like this, not a confirmed source. Fire detections from NASA FIRMS; smoke maps from NOAA HMS.
