China Haze-O-Meter, Tuesday, July 22

A small town in the indistrial backwaters of the east-coast mainland China megalopolis, about an hour south of Shanghai.

High: 32C
Low: 27C
Humidity: 84%
Dewpoint: 24C
Windspeed: 3km/h, SE

And so on.

The best way I've found to determine whether to stay inside or not is to gauge how far I can see into the distance from my apartment balcony in the morning.



I can't see the skyscrapers behind the white apartment blocks in the distance, so I think I'll stay inside today.
