WTF weather?

[thistlechaser]

I was looking through the Ice and Fire app that I wrote about the other day, checking out the eeee screenshots and weather around the world, when I came upon New Delhi (India). The app claimed the weather was "smoke". Confused, I went to the Weather Channel page, weather.com, to see what they had to say.



I do not want to know how "smoke" is a weather! Haze? Yeah, okay. But smoke? Time to move!

Man come summer my coworkers are gonna think I am such a wimp. I can't stand heat an they are all from India lol. If you want I can ask somebody tomorrow but I am guessing it's india's version of smog?

I'd be curious to hear what they say! I've seen haze and smog both as weather types, so I doubt smoke is the same (unless they call haze 'smoke' in India...)

Smoke followed by light fire with a chance of brimstone?

"Smoke" is a very weird way to describe weather I think. Although I could see it being smog but when I think smoke compared to smog I think 2 very different thing. Unless it's literally smoke, in which case I think there are fires that need to be controlled >.>

I've seen smog listed as a weather type before, so I don't think it means smog. "Where there's smoke, there's fire!" I think there must be a fire somewhere causing it...
