It was not windy today. Personally I feel that it reduces the chill factor a lot. But, that caused a red alert to be issued by the City of Albuquerque.
Excerpts from the alert:
“A high pressure system has settled over New Mexico and will keep our air stagnant through tonight. Multiple inversions will trap any wood smoke and reduce visibility. High pressure will break down Saturday and winds will increase by Sunday which will make conditions more favorable for burning over the weekend.”
I faced the inversion effect first hand when I drove to Albuquerque today. The smoke coming out of chimneys of some of the houses did cause problem of visibility in the vicinity.
Today in 1912 New Mexico became the 47th state of USA.
