This has to be the quietest St-Jean I have EVER seen. Okay, I have only lived in La Belle Province for the last 40 years of my life, but that has to count for something :-)
There were a number of reasons for this "tranquility".
For one thing, there was the rain, which can put a damper on things lol
However, FAR more serious was the smoke from the forest fires up north !!
It was SO BAD that there was an "article"/post suggesting that Montreal had the worst/wurst air on the entire planet.
Worse than ANY industrialized, uncontrolled Chinese city !!
Suddenly people were speaking about "air quality" and when is it safe to go back outdoors? People were still riding bicycles, motorbikes and convertibles with the top down !?!? (I like to see girls on bicycles with their tops down lol --> Like the Queen poster)
We discovered websites like iQair and spoke about AQI and PM2.5 units lol
On the 25th and 26th of June, my town was OVER 200 AQI which is apparently DANGEROUS - and NOT just for people with health issues !?! By the 27th the values were under 50 !!! which is considered completely safe
Here is a pic of the sun from our town when the sky was fulla smoke !!!
I have added the iQair site as a shortcut in the weather links on this "blog"
