Air quality outlook unhealthy Updated to moderate

... for the next six days say the forecasters at airvisual

That might be a mixed bag Saturday through Monday, as scattered thundershowers are anticipated.

Add to that occasional wind gusts up to 15 km and you may have plenty of dust blowing your way

AirVisual is a terrible source for air quality readings. Most of their numbers are estimates and I have first-hand experience with how inaccurate and misleading they are. Some of the numbers posted are stale - i.e. data points that have not been updated for many hours.

The positive side of AirVisual is that they apparently report measurements from some private nodes and you can find these if you are determined. However,last I checked there were no such nodes near Sakon Nakhon. The only node was in Khon Kaen and it is much better to check that at WAQI.INFO.

Thanks for the insight. As suggested I checked at WAQI who seems to be sharing statistics with aqin. The nearest station is Khon Kaen.
I will have to do some more checking, and I am guessing that the local weather station does provide such information.
