<![CDATA[PM 2.5 data inaccurate]]>AirNow.gov has accurate current data displayed indicating unhealthy PM2.5 for my area (PM2.5@127). According to Windy, PM2.5 is clear and healthy @ under 10 on the scale for my location when I can currently see and taste bad air. Locations down wind of active fires also show very low PM2.5! Disappointing in Windy's data! Premium ask for $$ for accurate data??

In addition to what @Ørjan-P-Stien says, here is what the PM2.5 layer means in Windy.

These large-scale forecasts do not provide any local precision.
As @Caefix said, it is better to rely on the readings of Air quality stations in the POIs.
