Massive plumes of smoke have also reached Europe, but in most cases, particulates have stayed high in the atmosphere, easing health concerns there. When it reaches the U.S., much of the smoke lingers at low altitudes, triggering orange and red alerts. So things are really sticking around more, and the jet stream is weaker." So we've got drier fuels, and the smoke and circulation patterns are less dynamic. Now we're seeing these big ridges stick around for much longer. "If you get a blocking ridge, a big mass of summer air that dries out all your fuels, in the past that might sit over top of an area for a week.
