Yes, that may be true but wouldn't the smoke dissolve and get mixed out before it has a chance to affect the winter? What if the wildfires stop a month before the winter?
All the smoke from the wildfires is so widespread globally (massive fires in California but also even bigger fires in Siberia that arent getting enough media attention) that it's gotta be cooling the Earth by a tenth of a degree celsius or so. Maybe even more.
Dewpoint just plummeted along with a sudden increase in winds. Was 66/59 at 9 PM, now 65/51 just 20 mins later
Edit: 10:45 PM. Temp 61/43. That's a weenie front in September if I ever seen one
11:30 PM 59/40
