I'm seeing a lot of apparently conflicting information about these Amazon fires. I've seen sources saying its about average, and I've seen sources saying it's the worst since 2010.

Are they in disagreement, or are they measuring different things, so aren't disagreeing? Or is something else going on? I'm kinda lost

From the Guardian article, the amount of ash and particulates in some Brazilian states has hit the highest levels since 2010. There are 27 states in Brazil (though I'm not sure all of them are downwind from rainforest or agricultural areas). Basically, in some areas it's the worst it's been since 2010, but overall it's about average.
