The air quality over the last five or so weeks has been pretty bad due to all the bush fire smoke. So far we have been lucky and there hasn't been any real danger to us, but there are still a few months of fire season to go.
Below is a graph of three air quality stations from Canberra over the first week and a bit of 2020. The one day where air quality was ok on the graph we had a large dust storm. I am not sure if the dust storm made it to Canberra or not.
The craziest part of this is that we have gotten off lightly so far. There have been a lot of places
far worse than it is here.
When smoke is combined with record breaking heat, record breaking dry, it makes this summer rather unpleasant.

| The dotted purple line at 200 is considered a hazardous level, we are way above that! |
 |
| Some days the smoke isn't too thick. The hills in the distance haven't been seen in some time |
 |
| Other days the houses are completely lost in the smoke |
 |
| This is the day the smoke cleared, and the dust came. The dust got thicker than this |
 |
| Some days everything is bright yellow |
