Weird Weather

I usually start my day checking the weather forecast and most days there is an icon something like this.

However, this morning we had this.

I have never seen this icon before but yes we are experiencing over 400 forest fires in BC at the moment and yes the smoke from the whole province has settled over Vancouver Island. Yesterday, the air reeked of smoke but today we just have very overcast skies. They are calling for rain on the weekend which should clear the skies and help with the fires.
