Thursday 07/07/2011 Air Pollution
There was no wood or yard waste smoke tonight. It was a miracle! It was not too hot for a bonfire and there was no rain to account for the absence of wood smoke. Once in a while we get lucky here in North St. Paul and get an evening of fresh air. This was one of those rare events. The temperature was 87 degrees at 4:45 PM with a mostly cloudy sky and a comfortable humidity of about 40%. The temperature at 10 PM was a nice 78 degrees, not too warm for a bonfire. But nobody upwind burned. It was nice to step outside and take a deep breath of fresh air! Smoke-free evenings like this should be the norm and not the exception.
