About this chart
The observed line is the hourly median across reporting monitors and the shaded range shows local variation. NASA GEOS-CF, CAMS and SILAM are separate total surface PM2.5 research forecasts sampled near the reporting-monitor centre. They are not smoke-only, official health forecasts or blended with observations.
Regional-city pages sample research forecasts at the named centre and summarise current government monitors within 50 km. Nearby fire context uses a 150 km radius.
