I need a weather report from everyone, especially with the smoke cloud over parts of Canada and U.S. Where are you and what's your weather like? It's beautiful in Chicago's western suburbs today. No smoke. Also, alas, no rain. It's been forever. Grass is turning yellow. It's time for a rain dance. ... See MoreSee Less

Mostly sunny with a few scattered clouds...supposed to get to 89F with about 33% humidity in Wenatchee, WA. Pretty nice day...a little hazy from (I'm guessing) fires in British Columbia. Nothing like it was a couple of weeks ago or what back east is getting.
Eugene Oregon is 55 degrees right now with a high of 77 expected today. We have a mostly contained fire nearby.
Perfect in Kentucky! 72 degrees & sunny.
I just checked our area of Pennsylvania and we are at a particle pollution of 309...code red. It smells like smoke and there is haze but doesn't seem to be nearly as bad as yesterday, and tomorrow is expected to be much better.
International report - sunny but warm. The mountain behind us had a thunderstorm briefly but we only had a few drops. Pollen count - through the roof! The past two weeks have been horrible. We can’t see the alps but I have been told that is actually normal this time of year. Considering I haven’t been here a year yet - I still have lots to learn.
In RI very hazy, smoky sky
My front porch view in Utah, could not be more beautiful.
Rain is helping my flowers here in South Texas
Upstate New York here; yesterday it literally looked like a fog bank was in town. I could see smoke clouds on the road. Today is more like a normal overcast day; grey overhead like a normal January day.
Stokes bay Ontario Canada very smok.Hard to breath
I’m in SE WI, so not too far from you. It’s beautiful here but like you said, grass looks like mid-August.
I’m in Massachusetts where it’s been hazy from the smoke. It hasn’t been as bad as NYC. I heard today that Albany, NY will be bad and we’re only 45 minutes away. So far we’re okay.
Rain would help! I’m in Southern Ontario and air quality is pretty bad đStaying inside.
Warm and sunny in the South. My mother remembered the Dust Bowl dirt hiding the sun in eastern Kentucky in the Thirties.
Love the California Central Coastâď¸
Little Heaven, Delaware, very smokey. You can smell the smoke in the air.
Today is sunny and 70° for the high in Los Angeles. We have been under a heavy marine layer on and off for several weeks now. It’s good to see the sun! I feel for those under all of the Canadian smoke and fires, having experienced this in SoCal several times.
Partly sunny and kind of cool in Pittsburgh. Is it hazy or do I have dirty windows?
I central Ohio we have blue sky finally with nice breeze but also no rain. We’ve had air quality alerts all week and have had hazy conditions due to the fires but I’m enjoying the sunny morning
Raleigh NC. We are under an orange warning -with a haze. Yesterday was a red warning during the day then dropped to orange. Going to be in the 80s. We had a little rain yesterday evening/night.
Gainesville, Georgia. Need rain, but other wise weather is awesome. No smoke.
I’m in ventral Indiana. We’ve had air quality alerts for days. Sunny, but the sky has a haze to it.
Near Harrisburg, PA. Air quality is terrible. It smells like smoke and is very hazy. Staying indoors as much as possible and masking when out. Supposed to improve by Saturday.
In SC on coast- was overcast -smoky looking yesterday going into Georgetown.
SW Ohio…the Dayton area. We’re still under an air quality alert as we’ve had for the past few days. Today is better than it has been. I still find myself sneezing a lot when outside.
