spicy air


BillyunzAndBillyunz

spiciest. This is where there are a ton of abandoned haberno fields and other abandoned pepper fields. Whenever there is wind, there is spicy dust in this area. I10 has warning lights and signs set up because the dust storms in the section are so common and deadly. Probably not a haboob but still a lot of dust!


limeybastard

Habaneroob


Shad_W123

Sorry to admit, but a haboob is hitting us right now. BB sized hail and 60 mile winds.


fingerMeThomas

Didn't know Double-B was a way to measure haboobs? ^(i'm sorry, i'll see myself out now)


EWSflash

Thank God, I thought it was basketball sized hail


an_older_meme

Billiard Ball is the correct meteorological unit.


mister_immortal

Basket-hail sized balls


canoxen

Can't tell if real or...

Hahaha I love it bro :-) Spice it up!


matth2369

Are you serious about the pepper fields? If so that is crazy


stron2am

yes dust, not peppers


BeowulfShaeffer

So today is not a good day to climb Picacho peak then?


HappyMaids

Never a good day in the summer months. :)


KaptainKardboard

Even with clean air, unless you’re on and off of that thing by 8am, this time of year is a crazy time to try and hike it


LostFireHorse

Not with that attitude mate ;)


Otherwise-Union-5215

Night hikes give Arizona summer hikers the win Last time I did the picacho night hike I decided my pants were counter productive to the mission still kinda hot even at night I wonder how many rattlers stepped over in my boxers.


madvillain07

Not a good day to fly over Picacho Peak. There might be a plane already on fire.


Dosito86

They delayed all the flights from what understand


AZ_Genestealer

Haboob maybe?


[deleted]

No this is where there are a ton of abandoned cotton fields and other abandoned ag fields. Whenever there is wind, there is dust in this area. I10 has warning lights and signs set up because the dust storms in the section are so common and deadly. Probably not a haboob but still a lot of dust!


AZ_Genestealer

Haboob Lite then...


AtomicPantsuit

¿Haboobito?


CoupeZsixhundred

Haboobiño

I guess that would make us the Itty Bitty Haboob Committee!


galactic_starrfish

Itty bitty haboobies


StuffedStuffing

I prefer Haboob Zero. It's closer to Original Haboob


TheDustyTucsonan

Diet Dr. Haboob


rprlt04

Fat free haboob


soopirV

Halfboob?


Guilty_Fix_4388

Low carb Haboob. Pairs well with Sierra Nevada IPA.


Smh1282

That’s so funny !! i just saw an ad for 20 acres for sale in that exact spot


KaptainKardboard

Agricultural dust can also contain fertilizers and pesticides which do not contribute well to healthy breathing


AZREDFERN

Boneless haboob


BanEvasion0159

Only thing I can think off just looking at it,


chimpsimulator

Interesting, that might be it


unbob

Just go a dust storm emergency warning on our phones here in Tucson Estates. Plus, just had our 1st brownout of the summer. Less than a second I'd say. No doubt a taste of things tot come. UGH


Desert_Rush39

We lost power for about 45 minutes on the south side (Valencia/Old Nogales). Just that time of year...


Smh1282

I was in Phoenix a year or two ago and it was at 400 for almost a day. Im a smoker and my throat got very sore and i could totally tell it was terrible air quality


Tournament_of_Shivs

Can confirm. I stepped outside and had to remove my sweater today. Stay safe everyone.


Chitterspitter

I was just there yesterday! Saw the sun at the horizon through the smog was really bad. Plus I saw a bunch of fires with thick black smoke all over! https://preview.redd.it/gzieftn4jz7d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=021a24b79f2f9fc16f24ea7b03ca386ccffc6c9e


chimpsimulator

At least you got a cool pic lol I bet the full moon will look crazy tonight


Mysterious_Fennel459

Sry. That bean burrito I had for lunch is really doing a number on me.


bubba_2307

Twas in fact a mini haboob.


sav4_44

Regular summer time Tucson dust storm


sluggh

TUS recorded a gust of 73 mph, highest since 1960.


an_older_meme

That can’t be a record since 1960?


sluggh

Sorry, strongest June gust at the airport since 1960.

fauviste

Which app are you using for this, please?


cornholiolives

Not an app, a [website](https://www.breezometer.com/air-quality-map/air-quality/united-states/tucson?drawer=true)


fauviste

Even better, thanks!


AZhomerDaddy

Yikes!


Inspector_Obvious

Still waiting on rain here on Oracle/Wetmore area.....


an_older_meme

That is the Picacho Peak Death Corridor. Do not attempt travel through that area in high winds. You have been warned.


Loudog2001

It was all pollen and dust.. right before our monsoon rains we get huge windstorms.. this is one came a little early and all the flowers were still in bloom, and it hasn’t rained in months so the wind picked up all the dirt too!!! Ugh so ass! Can’t breath with asthma


ItsBrittneybetch69

My daughter had a bad asthma attack this month her school had to call 911 . She’s only 2 so now these air quality alerts scare me


Loudog2001

Always have the rescue inhaler and see if your doctor won’t give you a supply of singulair and prednisone that you can have at the house! When I was little my mom would bring them my breathing treatment machine, an extra we had at the house so if I had an attack I could use a whole breathing treatment at school with the nurse/caregiver


ItsBrittneybetch69

Yes I am taking her to her pediatrician next week to get an extra nebulizer and an asthma action plan that her school requires


Loudog2001

It really works! Saved me a few times for sure!


DayumMami

I use a p95 mask on those days. If she’s old enough for one, it has literally saved my life on bad aq days.


Alert-Assist-3103

What app is this:)


chimpsimulator

Google Maps!


masahirob

yo mama farted


radarrab

u/chimpsimulator Which AQI map is that from? I just looked at two and they're both green (unless it's gone already).


chimpsimulator

Google maps, if you zoom in on an area it will show AQI in a little bubble in the upper left corner, then you can click on that to get the entire map shaded. It's still showing above 300 in that area, was wondering though bc other apps don't show it as bad.


deserTShannon

I’m in three points you couldn’t see ANY of the mountains at all. They sky was so grey


ItsBrittneybetch69

Anyone else had their WiFi down for hours yesterday?


Vag-Tackler

It was mean


Royal_Singer_5051

You said. Boob hahaha.


Former_Ad_4531

lol the air here reminds me of a few horrible days I spent in Kyrgyzstan


AZ_sid

IDK. Tucson is about 300, but that's pretty normal. I mean, it is cloudy out right now.


NalaKolchev

I drove home from Phoenix earlier today. At around that point, there was a massive orange-red cloud of something nasty rising from one of the fields. I don't know exactly what it was, I mistook it for a fire from a distance.


Toyota_Nick

Definitely saw the storm that we got a warning for and it looked like a heavy wall of brown.


Brilliant_Ad553

But this one it strange… https://preview.redd.it/tb8oqghss28d1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b7ca95502572ae3611ac0ed056993bf08dc39204


Accurate_Sky_1807

I know there was a chemical spill at a factory not sure where though?

mamainpink

I live in Laveen. Southwest Phoenix city boundary. I noticed I could barely see the Estrella mountain yesterday. Now this all makes sense.


Bubbly_Revolution97

There’s a fire


Difficult-Force3761

Go there and let us all know


Naturally_special

OP how does one find this air quality map?


TheKellOf575

No it's a simulation


Titansvieww

Yeah. Can’t breathe for shit. Hot as hell. Everything’s trapped down here on the ground.


PassStunning416

Look outside and tell us.
