Sunrise Haze

[Audragon]

I have been amazed at the brilliant orange sunrises over the past few days  over CM. Fiery sunrises like this are usually caused by smoke, fire and/or pollution. Are we still having a fire season as I can also smell smoke each morning around Nimman? Is this normal for this time of year? Thanks.

For the last month and a half my PM2.5 Monitor has registered over 50ppm every morning...

Getting AQI into the 100s sometimes and over 80 daily already, I expect to see 500+ almost every day during burning season

Unfortunately it is normal throughout the year, the Thai have become champions of the world of fires!
Here it burns with everything and always!

I think that they like piles of smoldering material best.  Lots of freshly-cut green vegetation mixed in with a bit of dried leaves is the usual way to go.  From what I've seen, they'll never douse a smoldering heap of ashes; doing so would do wonders for reducing the local pollution, if even on a small scale.
