All I could think about was that haze and temps in the 70's is still vastly preferable to what the weather will be for the six whole months after October 15. As someone who enjoys going outside and doing things active, I wouldn't shed a tear if the next time I felt a drop of rain on my head was sometime in November.

We broke another record for 90+ degree days for July, well in excess of double digits. I'm beginning to miss the hot summers in the Midwest, since at least there you don't experience the smoke along with the heat.

By October they were out and there were no fires at all until late summer. Relatives there say that fires are almost a year round event now. <br />When I started my first job in western Oregon in the early 70s I remember how few fires there were. Some localized smoke was all. When I started graduate school at UW in the 70s the summers here were great. I do not recall any smoke issues and hardly any fires in the West, some grass fires in the East with an occasional forest fire but nothing major except one big one in Entiat. Not the case anymore. Hard to believe this is all due to forest management, it wasn't good back then either.Weather Devoteehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07071334949599205140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-27979337002110288182018-08-13T15:35:49.191-07:002018-08-13T15:35:49.191-07:00Very dense smoke layer in the San Juans today.

Much of the smoke that I can actually smell up on Whidbey right now is coming from that fire, which is by the Hamma Hamma River and the Lena Lake Campground.<br /><br />Question for you: Are we seeing a longer term trend of having longer dry seasons over Western Washington?

Maybe we should go after Canada as well. So far the low-level air is still really clean, but we do have that eerie reddish orange light that comes with the high level smoke. Voting for it staying up there for another day or two.

The Air Quality Index has been unhealthy to very unhealthy for many days now (except yesterday). The highest reading I saw was an AQI of 800 just downwind of the fire in the Twisp river valley. Note that the color rating scale on the AQI only goes to 500 (hazardous).Deekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227802798728715787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-2170401234950796522018-08-12T21:59:26.868-07:002018-08-12T21:59:26.868-07:00Human-caused global warming strikes again!
