When I woke up at about 5 a.m., thunder was booming outside, but after I wrote my Hili post it was starting to clear. Here’s a photo taken shortly thereafter:

Looks foggy. Fog or just humidity haze?
A few days ago over here in western Iowa it looked like that for several hours. They said it was the smoke from the fires in Canada.
That much smoke, you’d probably have been able to taste.
I’m trying to remember the name of the oil well that blew out in about 1980 and shed up to 5ppm of hydrogen sulphide onto the streets of Edmonton, several hundred kilometres to the SW. The distances were smaller, but H2S is a lot more easily detected by the human nose. Sub-1ppm is well within most people’s detection capabilities.
We had it last Saturday morning (St. Paul, MN, May 7). First thing in the morning, it was like thick fog. You could taste and smell it and it was quite irritating.
Worst smoke I’ve experienced here. (I’ve been in worse though, in WA last year.)
Luckily, the winds blew it away by nightfall.
