Smoky Weather

I didnt notice this earlier in the day, mainly because I slept all the way into the city on the train and then had a zombie walk up to work.
But the entire city is covered in a yellow haze.

This would be due to the Bushfires currently raging across Victoria - there's even some rumours that some of the smoke hanging over Melbourne is from the Tasmania fires aswell.

From the Level 11 Office Windows you can normally view the city skyline all the way out to the sea - but today it's entirely shrouded. The sun looks like a giant red fireball in the sky as it tries to shine through the heavy smoke.
There is not even a hint of blue out there. It's all grim.

I went for a walk and had to hurry back into the office & air conditioning - my eyes got so sore from all the smoke I thought I was going to burst into tears.

Just makes you pause and think - if it's this bad in the city, imagine what the firefighters and rural towns are experiencing....
