The Smoke particulate from northern Canada to Alaska to Greenland to Mexico down through the U.S. should reduce temperatures

For example, this year has been one of the coldest years here on the northern California coast in a really long time. On one level this is good because this means the ground stays wetter because it doesn't dry out as much and because of the Atmospheric Rivers hitting one after another from January of 2023 until about April of 2023 when the fog started here on the northern coast around May 1st this also caused things to stay wetter here and not really dry out that much. So, at least along most of the coast of California you haven't seen fires because of this. However, inland about 20 miles or so and beyond it is an entirely different story and here fires are now beginning to happen all over California.

However, Hurricane Hilary has also changed these dynamics too especially where it turned into Tropical Storm Hilary and moved up through San Diego to Palm Springs and dumped a foot of rain on Mt. Jacinto and closed most roads into and out of the Palm Springs area for some time and closed Interstate 10 for awhile too during and after this deluge of 1 foot of rain.

So, I'm thinking the smoke particulates will continue to drop temperatures all over California to a greater or lesser degree because less sun can reach the ground through the particulate from all the smoke from all the fires from Canada down through the U.S. So, because of this smoke particulate it is possible that it is also reducing fires all over the western United States to a greater or lesser degree because the lack of sun from the smoke is preventing more drying out of the dry grasses and shrubs and trees all over the western states to a greater or lesser degree.
