The sun can appear dimmed or even blotted out, casting an eerie sepia or orange hue over everything. That is sometimes called a “smoke eclipse." When wildfire smoke fills the sky, air quality drops.

While the orange sky looked cool, the dust itself isn’t exactly great for your health. Dust storms can cause irritation to your eyes, throat, and lungs.
