This will explain why the skies seemed so smoky in the Northeast on June
2nd. Sorry for the late report, NASA just filed it today.

Smoke from the many fires burning in eastern Asia made its way to the other
side of the world, as is shown in this true-color Terra MODIS image of
southeastern Canada and the northeastern United States. The smoke is
visible as a grayish-blue haze extending diagonally from Ontario province
southeast over New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland
states to the Atlantic Ocean. The smoke partially obscures the northern end
of the Appalachian Mountains, and dulls the springtime-green of the land.
