Animedragon Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 It's still nice and sunny, but the temperature has dropped to a more pleasant 22-24C. It's also a lot cooler at night which is good because I can now catch up on the sleep I lost during the heat wave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeref Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 It's 90 today with an air quality alert, though I don't really know what that entails, I have no plans of going out in that heat to begin with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakura Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 I feel like we have an air quality alert every day here lol ~ I know it's just been hot/muggy/humid and I'm not going outside in that either 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ULEZ even extends into the suburbs where I live, fortunately my car meets the requirement so I don't have to pay. * about $15 Edited August 6 by Animedragon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It said the air quality alerts today and yesterday are because of the wildfire smoke over our heads but I don't know exactly what that means for us. It's been in the 90s today with air quality alerts here again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sure how charging people money stops it from damaging the environment yeah we've had another air quality alert here from the smoke.. apparently the bonus though is that sunsets this week will be prettier and brighter because of the smoke...? Which I am totally confused by because I would have thought smoke would block out the sun and sunsets x.x 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sure how charging people money stops it from damaging the environment I'm not sure about that either, it seems like saying "it's OK to pollute as long as you pay the fee". Many people regard it as yet another money making scheme. ULEZ is, as you might imagine, not a popular scheme and the ANPR cameras that are used to enforce it are regularly vandalised, several round my way have had their lenses sprayed black or their cables cut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how it sounds to me too when I read it lol. As long as you have money and can pay the fees who cares what you do! It's not really doing anything to save the environment and possibly making it harder on those who can't afford to get a new car that is better. The weather was cooler than yesterday here but still at 87F. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakura Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 It's 79 here and cloudy, but the sun has gone down so it's cooled down a lot. I was glad to here the weather will be in the 60s tonight though instead of the 70s or 80s lol 19 hours ago, Animedragon said: I'm not sure about that either, it seems like saying "it's OK to pollute as long as you pay the fee".

Yeah that's really not doing anything to solve the pollution problem lol ~ and like Pessi said, it sounds like it would just be another fee people working and trying to commute that may already have it hard have to pay x.x 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
