The Shelby County Health Department has concluded their investigation of the foul smell in Memphis this week to temporary weather conditions.
According to their official statement release: “Health Department meteorologists believe temporary weather conditions – including high humidity, fog and high pressure – caused odors from several routine sources to remain close to the ground longer than usual.”
The department stated that since the weather conditions have changed, the odors are all gone. Conditions surrounding the odors will continue to be monitored.
This comes after much speculation from Memphians that it could have been from Elon Musk’s data centers or just general pollution.
