Quote HistoryQuoted: It was BAD yesterday. Went out for a walk around 7pm. You could look directly at the sun it was that hazy. What was bizarre was you could still feel the sun. Apparently UV says fuck smoke. @Into_the_Void Yeah, it has to do with particle size and the wavelengths of light. Same reason the sky is blue. N2, O2, CO2, smidge of Argon, and the significant chunk of water vapor/H2O scatters the blue light wavelengths around because their wavelengths are around the size of the molecules. And the sun gets red at sunrise & sunset because you're seeing it through the thickest possible sideways line through the atmosphere, and not just 60 miles straight up like you do at noon. And even more of the blue and green get scattered away. Smoke particles do the same. If the wavelengths are longer than the particles, they go through like it's not there, same size or smaller, they get scattered. UV has a really short wavelength, so most everything scatters it, but enough always gets through unless smoke or clouds are really thick. My guess is that when smoke scattering is noticeable in sunlight, it "feels" or 'seems" less intense, which it is, but not as significant as one might think. You stay in the sun longer, don't seek shade as quickly, and it more than makes up for the small reduction in UV its providing. I know all my worst burns happened on hazy cool misty/foggy days where you're not thinking the sun's cooking you. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Manassas, VA It's dimming the sun pretty good. You can see the ground level haze over a mile or so. No smoke smell though. Lorton VA landfill is on fire, so the smoke/haze could be coming from Lorton as well. |

That mountain in the distance is usually crystal clear from my vantage point. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/87259/20230606_121410_jpg-2842116.JPG Are you looking toward Worcester in that pic? |

It's really bad here, we barely saw the sun all day and there wasn't a cloud in the sky.
By 10am I couldn't even seen the valley when driving down into town. It doesn't smell as bad in town as it does at my house, smells like perpetual camp fire. The kids are stuffy and my throat hurts. Closest monitor to me is reading 182 right now. Firmly in the "unhealthy" range.....cool. |

They didn't let the kids outside for recess today, and they cancelled a pretty big annual parade.
