The skies and the air here on Long Island are terrible these days, because of smoke from Canadian wildfires. This afternoon I could even smell the smoke. According to the EPA "AirNow Fire and Smoke Map this smoke is coming from Canada, where the fires are North of Wisconsin and Minnesota.This view is from Memorial Park, on the cliff overlooking Hempstead Harbor and Long Island Sound.
Here is a view from the little park down at the foot of Laurel Avenue looking over at Sands Point, partley obscured by the smoke.
This is the AirNow Fire and Smoke Map, and you can see that where we live in the NY Metro Area we have some of the worst air conditions anywhere in the United States. Amazing that we can be affected by something so far away from us.

The air was so bad yesterday. I am hoping the storms predicted for this weekend will help clear the air a little. Interesting map you posted.
