San Francisco and some surrounding areas have been covered in a thick yellow fog, due to the smoke and ash from nearby fires.

The city was barely visible on Sunday, July 1, according to video footage recorded by local residents, and a poor air quality warning was issued, which extended on and off through Monday and into Tuesday.

Those with breathing problems, the elderly, and children were asked to reduce prolonged or heavy exertion.
