Model vs measured
We found no measured PM2.5 sensor cell within 25 km of Weyburn, so the numbers on this page are model estimates. Models capture regional pollution well but can miss very local sources such as a busy road or a nearby fire.
Advice for sensitive groups
With the AQI at 38, there is no need for sensitive groups to change plans. People with asthma should still carry their reliever inhaler as usual.
