Suspicious readings on Park Ave in Yakima

I am concerned that this station provides inaccurate info.

the sky is smoky, you can see smoke drifting in the street. Is this station a scam?

I take it this is Yakima, WA, USA – Considering the number of wildfires in the American West right now, I can’t say those values look out of bounds.

I seriously doubt anyone is trying to “win” having the worst air by submitting falsified air quality data. Probably just a bad sensor.

Not sure which sensor you are complaining about, your first and second image are identical. Did you mean to post about a particular one in your list?

Yes the Park Avenue reading is way way low. A few hours later it went up to be consistent with other stations.

Thank you for your reply. I couldn’t figure out the address on Park, which is only 2-3 bocks long.
