Getting around today
Gusts to 28 mph are forecast — expect blowing dust, slower riding, and poor visibility on open playa. Goggles and a mask.
Travel estimates in the planner are inflated by 35% to account for this — an estimate, not a measurement.

Modelled, not measured. There is no air sensor at Black Rock City in any public feed — the nearest regulatory monitor is about 85 miles away — so treat this as a forecast of dust, not a reading of it. Your own eyes beat this number. Air quality data by Open-Meteo.com (CC BY 4.0).
No active alerts. Official severe-weather alerts for the playa come from the National Weather Service; nothing in this app detects dust storms.
