~~Thanks, but as it also doesn't include data from Copernicus and does not forecast PM2.5 unless it's from a wildfire.~~ The pollution in my area is mostly from burning fuel, construction, road dust, etc.. I think it's usually blown away, but with the current heat dome all of it just builds up.
Though, I did find the Copernicus Browser Which shows the same information as the Canadian Governments map. Now I am confused as to how Breezy reports local aqi as unhealthy when Copernicus doesn't show as such looking at it's map. 😵💫
*The question then becomes: What is the cause of discrepancy between Copernicus data and Open-Meteo? But that's beyond the scope of this post so...
According to the docs , there's no source for Canadian air quality.
Thanks! And also: Oh no! Now I'm even more confused as to where the AQI data in Breezy comes from.
*I suspect it takes data from citizen provided sensors and forecasts using the WHOs aqi which has a lot more focus on pm2.5 resulting in the discrepancy.
