    The sky was blue in Fresno today. Wow, so that's what blue looks like?

    Just for information: some smoke from California fires has reached Western Europe.

    Well, this smoke is not visible to the public, but has been detected by various precision instruments (e.g. lidars)

    You would think that the rain associated with tropical storm Ernesto would wash the particulate matter out of the air. The shifting highs and lows have sent some of the smoke into the bay area over the past several days. We are forecast to have "moderate" air quality thru at least the mid part of next week.

    Blue sky in Fresno? That must be a first in history other than in the month of March. At the moment, the nightly news is predicting improved air throughout the week for much of the state due to an increased offshore windflow pushing cooler air inland. But that Fresno thing is probably some new kind of blue insecticide being massively sprayed by cropdusting planes.
