“We’re getting obviously more temperature records, warmer summers, and then this year was particularly dry, especially early in the summer.” “Where’s the smoke going to be? The atmosphere is three dimensions, so smoke aloft doesn’t impact anyone at the surface, but all of a sudden it can come down to the surface, causing really poor air quality.”Four of the highest number of smoke hours have come since 2017, including the three highest values which were all set within the past six years.
