There could be two or three days over the next week that are below normal. Especially if it rains. It’s definitely a cooler look so I don’t see like 90/74 stuff.

It’s just 80’s and humid . High heat comes back late month into early Augdewst

Can smell the smoke baby

Haven’t gone outside yet, but is that smoke down here at the surface? Looks miserable.

Took a snap around 5:45 before the smoke starting moving in

Tomorrow looks like it will be very bad for smoke...even worse than today

Excellent! Burning eyes and asthma baby!

80 by 8

most of the local weather stations are reporting low 80s already

[dendrite]

It may be more yellow than yesterday right now. Love it.

Clean air is working into NNE though.

Be curious to see where we end up with for temperatures today. I don't think statistical guidance (MOS/NBM) factor in smoke so you almost have to guess how much to take off them for temps. Almost may have to subtract something like 7-12F

[OrangeCTWX]

Nice blue sky here but that won’t be lasting for much longer. 

[SouthCoastMA]

smoke every year is the new norm eh

can't remember having to deal with this prior to the last few years.

06z HRRR has tomorrow’s near surface smoke density worse than today. That’s great. Just great.

Its July 15th

Has the Canada smoke always been “a thing” around these parts? It’s like I never even heard of the phenomenon until a few years ago?

I know you cannot be this dense . That doesn’t mean cool and dry . I mean wow 

[Lava Rock]

Very hazy, almost partial eclipse sky over here just north of Syracuse

I was thinking the same thing.  I remember occaisionally having smoke from fires make its way here but not every year.

Happens.

Maybe a little more frequency in recent years, but it’s not anything new. Social media definitely hypes it up more.

Was it 2002 when we had the wild smoke from the fires around Montreal(?). That was nuts

The sunbeam my cat is sitting in is making her look orange-pink.  It's like it's sunset.

I don’t remember it being as frequent in my childhood (90s &00s). But memory could be clouded by youthful ignorance.

I definitely remember that one.

Gene is 81° at 1230am at like 1kft. GFL 85°. Wild.

73.6° here. 

It's the CC that's fake or over hyperbolized that's "not" causing massive upward frequency of these large scale "holocaustic - like" fire explosions setting off all over the world over recent years...

This is how Gaia rids the planet of cancer.  She/he/it slowly turns up the heat up on the frogs, using temperature like chemotherapy.  With brilliantly insightful enabling throughput of "there's always been wild fires", this keeps the agency smoking, so there's more cancer, thus, more chemotherapy ... turning up the dial toward their own demise ever more, over closer. 

I also like the metaphor for the "Clean" end of said dial on a conventional electric oven's settings. 

We just spent that last hour at about the equiv light of a cloudy 8:24 pm

Here is the sun now that it is attempting to get brighter - albeit in a sickly yellowy aura to the air
