Burnt moorland

Derbyshire, UK
Burnt ground at Tintwistle Moor in Glossop. One of England’s largest wildfires in recent years began on 24 June and burned an estimated 606 hectares (1,497 acres) of moorland and woodland. The fire, which was declared a major incident on 13 July, burned for more than six weeks before being brought under control.

Firefighters in Washington state battled wildfires that forced 60,000 people to flee and destroyed hundreds of buildings as drought and extreme heat fuelled an ‘extraordinary’ fire season in the Pacific north-west.

#Today 06

Good day!

And just like that, the smoke is back. When I went to bed last night, the AQI was 83. When I woke, it was to a headache and an AQI of 133.

The fluctuations are because I’m so far from the worst fires. I’m grateful for that.

Be everwell.
