You fail to appreciate how hot those 2 days were.

Wtf is this ? It's 30 degrees at 9am and is supposed to stay this way all morning. Then get even hotter later . Can't see more than 300 feet in front of me due to smoke

I got a last minute hotel pool for the next couple days. Last room left. It wouldn't surprise me if they over booked and I don't actually have a room. We shall see

My balcony is grey with ash. Needless to say air quality is terrible. I will pretty much live inside with my aircon until things improve. We have Aussies, Mexicans and Americans helping with the fires. Finger crossed no more towns burn to the ground.

I think all of your smoke blew down here now. How's it up there ? Still blazing ?

You might want to check if your neighbors house is on fire, because I see clear blue skies with only a hint of haze from the humidity.

It's been a bit cooler overnights up here so the fires have slowed down a bit. It's also been much less smoky for a few days now which is a big relief. We're heading for higher temperatures in the forty+ range so I expect more smoke and more fires upcoming.

Take care.
