Alberta Air Quality & Smoke
AQHI now, plus the surface smoke and particulate forecast.
Alberta Air Quality & Smoke shows a live layer from Environment and Climate Change Canada, refreshed automatically.
Live Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) observations for Alberta over Environment and Climate Change Canada's forecast of surface fine particulate (PM2.5) — scrub the timeline to see how the air changes over the next three days while the current AQHI readings stay legible on top. The forecast is drawn as a muted haze so it never competes with the numbered station readings. In wildfire season that particulate is dominated by smoke, so this answers both questions at once: how bad is it right now, and is it heading my way?
