Smoke Update

It's always a bit alarming when you go into your weather app and the current weather says "Smoke".  Yep, as well as currently being under an excessive heat warning we are also under an air quality alert.  And you can tell - the smoke is affecting visibility, and apparently it's going to get worse tomorrow so I imagine we are going to start smelling it as well.  This smoke storm originates from large wildfires in Canada - and the wind direction has changed to blow it directly down to us.  So not a good time to be outside and breathing all this muck in, but at least the smoke will reduce the temperature by a few degrees.  Sadly I don't think I'll be catching any of the Perseid meteor shower over the next few nights...
