canyonwalkerSmoke from wildfires is in the news again. News articles are running with pictures of cityscapes viewed through orange haze. It's like... uh, basically each of the last few summers in California and the US West... except this time it's not in California! Fires are burning in Ontario, Canada, and smoke is drifting south into the Midwest and Northeast US. The pics of orange skies are not from San Francisco but New York City this time around.
Out here in the San Francisco Bay Area we've got a different problem with the sky. The sky is... leaking. Yes, it actually rained yesterday! To put in context how rare that is, I've lived in California for 27 years, and the last time it rained here in June was... before I moved here. I remember it raining in late May twice, but never in June. Just after our weather caught up with late April (in June) it regressed to March. And while it's clear the rest of the week it'll remain cool-ish very unlike June.
