Jose, we are very unhealthy. Whats the problem with this smoke . Why cant we get it to clear out . A couple of things we are looking at here. The main thing is the wind. The surface wind is taking the smoke. Continually smoke from the north to the south that past several days. The winds are relatively light. Lets take it one step further. I think this is really going to explain this for us. It is all about whats known as an in versiversion layer. It is warm air higher up in the atmosphere. Then on top of that you have some cooler air surfacing thats pushing the air right on down towards ground level. So we have High Pressure producing this and colder air at the surface and all of that thats getting stuck down here across the bay area.

However, we cant blame every individual fire on Climate Change because there are a lot of factors that go into the wildfires. Reporter Dennis Patrick also agree.
