I'm not quite sure what the airport are playing at. Here, 3km from the
airport,
the weather is stunning ... a virtually cloudless sky, brilliant sunshine
(more so
even than yesterday afternoon), a regulation slight low-level haze
(left-over
from the early-morning fog) which is reducing horizontal visibility to
5 or 6km. From my viewpoint the southern horizon is not visible so I
can't even so the smoke plume. It's certainly not "reducing visibility".
