Smoke
Get used to it. With the dry weather and lack of rain, fires burning as far away as the GA/FL border will create smoke that travels this far south. Then there are the occasional forest fires in Ocala Natl Forest and some controlled burning there and around TV and with the right wind conditions we will get it. Sometimes it lasts for hours, some times days and in the not to distant past, for weeks.
So while there is a County ban in effect on open burning, when that gets lifted we will occasionally get smoke from someone near TV who is burning brush or trash.
Good thing our homes are air conditioned and we have pretty effective window seals to prevent it from getting inside, it has been and will continue to be annoying for some and dangerous, to those who have breathing problems.
So get used to it, and try to stay indoors, because it is part of life in Central FL.
