We've been shrouded in smoke here for weeks the last three Augusts in a row, started in 2017.
One year it was Canadian smoke, last year it was California smoke which was even weirder as the smoke finally blew offshore from California and out to the Pacific where it lingered, and then rolled back in from the ocean onto Seattle. No one had ever seen that happen before. I fear it, the west coast fire season smoke is unliveable.
It's going to get better. The emperor, I mean governor, said he wouldn't send aid for drought in the places where fire season is common. There wasn't a winter, and the heat waves over 100 have dried up those areas terribly.
If Spokane could, it would erect a stone statue with a middle finger aimed at Olympia.
Dry winters are actually an indicator of a mild fire season in CA. No matter how good the year is, ALL of that brush dies in the summer. The less that grows, the less fuel there is.

Not in Washington. The fire season has already begun.
