smoke haze
Fire's lingering veil
Smoke haze is a atmospheric condition where smoke particles suspended in the air reduce visibility and create a murky, often yellowish or gray appearance.
It typically results from wildfires, agricultural burning, or industrial emissions: The smoke haze from distant bushfires blanketed the city for days.
Unlike fog, smoke haze carries a distinct smell and can pose health risks.
