📍 Location Franklin, Wisconsin, US

We are currently experiencing heavy smoke and poor air quality in Southern Wisconsin from the Canadian wildfires. The sky has a noticeable gray, hazy appearance, and the sunlight looks dimmer than usual.

There is a strong smoke smell outside, similar to a campfire, and the haze is reducing visibility in the distance. After spending even a short amount of time outdoors, I can feel irritation in my eyes and throat, and the air feels heavier and more difficult to breathe than normal.
