Yeah, I glanced out the window last night at the moon, and said "Wow, that's really red for being so high in the sky already".

Stay safe, everyone.

Weather Underground has a map of the readings from various places in the US--it's headed "US counties health map and air pollution monitors," but there are a number of counties with more than one monitoring station, and probably some with none at all. This URL is for the map centered on my location, but it was easy to zoom out and then scroll southwest to New York City: https://www.wunderground.com/health/us/ma/brighton/42.35,-71.16?cm_ven=localwx_modaq

They have a lot of New York area stations still reporting numbers over 200, and also the map is oddly spotty, with (for example) a 65 reading and a 151 near each other in Bed-Stuy.
