We are getting ample proof of that old adage in the Bay Area just now. There are two large wildfires burning to the east of the area - one up by Susanville and the other in Henry Coe State Park, east of Gilroy. Add to that a strengthening off-shore wind and visibility here has plummeted as a result. Just driving home with the air conditioning blowing into the car made my eyes sting; you can literally see, smell and taste the smoke. Both fires are still growing, with the longer-burning one only 20% contained. Humidity is falling, the wind is still blowing and no obvious end is yet in sight.
Scant compensation that it makes the sunsets pretty, though.
