I don't care much for the temps much higher than 80° and find that too hot 70-75 is perfect...

Two nights ago we were smelling wood smoke. Don't know if it was somebody in the neighborhood with a fire pit or your fires. Didn't smell it today.

We have over 90 active fires north of us right now, some of the smoke could also be coming from out west too..
