Cunning weather

I was lulled into a false sense of security when I arrived. Yes it was hot, and yes it was humid, but the air was pretty clear and it wasn't too humid. There was actually blue sky! As the temperature peaked in the middle of the day it became relatively drier and more comfortable. This was not too bad.

Since then the smog levels have slowly increased and visibility has slowly dropped. I first noticed a few days ago that I could look at the sun quite comfortably 2 or 3 hours before sunset. (The sun disappears well before it actually sets.) Buildings a few hundred metres away are half greyed out and I don't think that I can see anything more than a kilometre away. It seems to be getting slowly worse.
