Why can't I see anything and the sun is orange
Anybody up high who can see a fire or anything?
All of a sudden can barely see across the street, let alone the hills or towards the bay. If it was May I would expect smoke but this is odd and I am, as always, curious.

We were wondering the same. Can't smell smoke, too warm for fog.

Se llama "bruma del mar" o "neblina".
Sort of like what we saw here last April. Welcome to the changing seasons in Zihuatanejo.
Porque hay mucha bruma
Rob I am from the California coast and I know fog (I love fog - we call it nature's air conditioner). It doesn't turn the sun orange. This is a mysterious "some thing else". And not as wonderful as the mystery fog last spring.
AGAIN.....!!!

NO "fires" from our view, sizzda..... as "it" is coming ON SHORE.... and we cannot even SEE the other side of the Z Bay again today!
And for now The 5th Time in three months, this YELLOW "fog" has entered Z bay...... as disturbingly (unavoidably) observed from our 'nest' here above The Cerro on the south side of Z bay!
And AGAIN, in over 40 years of 'seaside residence' around our shared planet, I have NEVER seen "YELLOW Fog".....!
Gracias to the Lázaro Cárdinas Steel and Power Plants?

As suggested on an earlier thread, getting the “correct info” in México is certainly a Herculean Effort….. even from Z (self-interested) “Old Guard”…… though perhaps our decision to RENT (after a long hiatus) prior to an actual ‘property purchase’ here, indeed has its DEMONSTRABLE merits…… these daze!! 
AGAIN.....!!!
Should we alert Jamie Lee Curtis?

This ain't California. This is the tropics. These are the doldrums.
But you're certainly welcome to continue carrying on about it if it jiggles yer jello.

That was,certainly,a helpful answer!
Porque hay mucha bruma
The doldrums!!! Who would have known (a rhetorical question as clearly I didn't) And the sun!!
"The Pacific doldrums were famously described in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner in the following stanzas:
All in a hot and copper sky,
The bloody Sun, at noon,
' Right up above the mast did stand,
No bigger than the Moon.
Day after day, day after day,
We stuck, no breath no motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean."
that the city's garbage dump burned all the garbage yesterday,...so regrettably the citizens of Zihua were breathing in all sorts of particulate matter during that yellow cloud that hit at sunset. On a day with little breeze to move it away (somewhere).
Rob, rather than always telling us something nice,...I am more interested in understanding why it is that bad practices in so many areas are tolerated rather than challenged by locals.

I fear you were told something that simply wasn't true. Burning garbage stinks. You should have noticed immediately that the bruma had no odor and questioned whomever told you that the garbage dump burned. It burns not infrequently enough, and when it does you will most certainly SMELL burning garbage. There's no mistaking it.
