Has anyone else noticed this over the last few days?  sky very hazy, red sunsets due to smoke from wild fires in North America crossing the Atlantics. The sun has been very weak this last couple of days and seems to have pegged the temperature down. Just a couple of cloud breaks here this morning revealing a very pale blue sky. Unusual with westerly and SW winds which are normally clear of pollution.

Smoke from wildfires across the Atlantic will bring spectacular colour to sunsets and sunrises this week

Edit just seen headlines on Netweather front page, yes has been noticed lol.
