Sunrises Around the World Are Being Effected by the West Coast Wildfires
The sunrise looks a lot different these days. It’s beautiful but frightening. Cecily Tynan explained why: The eerie haze in our skies this week is caused by western wildfires smoke hitching a ride on the jet stream and moving about 20,000 feet above our area. Since the particles are so high, there’s little effect on air quality at ground level.
We collected photos from around globe to see how the haze is effecting our early rising (or up late!) neighbors:

The typical clear, bright sunrise is filtered through a veil of smoke high in the atmosphere. #OldSaybrook pic.twitter.com/Arv9KLlIqz

It's #8oclock. The smoke from the west has floated its way across the USA to alter my daily views in a beautiful way. I wonder what it saw along the way? #sunrise pic.twitter.com/R1CCtNZ37n

St Pete Beach - 7:09 AM from the dock. I am pretty convinced that all the tropical moisture in the atmosphere really enhances the colors in the sunrise. #sunrise @bn9weather @spann pic.twitter.com/W6T7LovuBQ
