Ocean breezes don't help our air situation

The calming Santa Ana winds don't mean an end to our air-quality issues. With stronger ocean breezes expected, some of that smoke is expected to push back into the inland areas, including the Sylmar and Freeway Complex burn areas, according to the South Coast Air Quality Management District:
An afternoon sea breeze today could spread wildfire smoke across wide areas of the Southland, including portions of the Inland Empire, causing air quality in the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups range or higher. In addition, areas directly impacted by smoke from the ongoing Sayre and Freeway/Triangle Complex fires will experience Unhealthy air quality.

Why is anybody commenting on the weather? The weather doesn't care what you think. This whole country needs to get a life.
