Those are fantastic sunset shots there, Art! They remind me of what happened here last July- though instead of sunset views we had red sunrises.
Thanks, Roland. I guess you had your share of smoky skies last summer. I remember some shots being posted from SEA that showed a lot of smoke aloft.

Yes, those were the days… For me the most remarkable day was July 5th (2015). I never saw a day so hot, with so much smoke AND wind at the same time. Anyway, it looks like this summer will be quite different: Cliff Mass says El Nino is dead. Judging from the forecast over the next week, I would agree. We’re actually going to see temperatures BELOW normal!
Yep, Nino is dead. Well, that might be a good thing for our summer rainfall since there has been a tendency for El Niños to lead to drier summer rains here.
July was truly awful in WA, as you say. I saw some images from SEA that were amazing in the amount of smoke over that city.
And, on demand, the warmth in the Pac NW is over for a through most of June from what I saw in the mods and spaghetti plots.
