Recommendation
Driving is generally feasible but use caution due to smoke-reduced visibility. Morning slot: 7AM-9AM when temperatures are cooler (75-79F) and winds are light. Evening slot: 8PM-10PM as temperatures drop to the mid-80s. Keep windows closed and use recirculated air due to poor air quality. Use headlights at all times for visibility in smoke.
