How we knowSources, updates, and important limits

Different instruments. One honest answer.

We check the sky and the air near the ground separately, because smoke up high does not always reach the people below.

Refresh rhythm
Air and weather check in throughout the day. The smoke map gets a fresh look when NOAA posts one.
Important limit
Smoke can change from one neighborhood to the next, so this check cannot describe every corner of the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD.
