I asked AI Chat GPT.

"Apparently quite significant at the moment with many not under control.
I wonder if you [ChatGPT] can work out trajectories and make an informed prediction as to whether or not we in the British Isles might see the effects of the smoke.  It has certainly happened in the past."

ChatGPT replied (after trawl of online information amongst other sources)
As of June 4, 2025, Canada is experiencing an unprecedented wildfire season, with over 200 active fires burning across multiple provinces, including Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. 

The smoke from these fires has not only affected the United States but has also crossed the Atlantic Ocean, reaching parts of Europe, including the United Kingdom. Satellite imagery has confirmed the presence of smoke particles in the upper atmosphere over the UK, which has resulted in vivid sunrises and sunsets . 

Given the current atmospheric conditions and the trajectory of the smoke plume, it is likely that the UK and other parts of Europe will continue to experience hazy skies and enhanced sunrises and sunsets in the coming days. While the smoke may affect air quality to a minor extent, it is not anticipated to reach levels that would cause health concerns for the general population.

The intermittent blue skies of the past 24 hours have looked a little milky over south London.
