New Year 2025 Smog

We woke up to a thick smog yesterday. The smog is a product of the New Year fireworks the night before and the rains and clouds brought about a shear line and the inter-tropical convergence zone currently affecting the Philippines.

The smog persisted until the noon time. I advised our staff to wear masks in order to reduce their ingestion of the polluted air. I myself canceled my usual walk and mid-morning could feel a slight sting to my eyes when I did some work at the garden. We had to get the air circulating inside the house with our fans as we also had to open windows for ventilation.
