What is the immediate impact of the Canadian wildfires' smoke plumes on Europe?

Wildfires in Canada have caused significant smoke plumes that have travelled across the Atlantic Ocean, reaching Europe. The smoke, primarily affecting the west and southwest of the Iberian Peninsula, causes hazy skies and reddish sunsets, though air quality at ground level remains unaffected. This is due to the high altitude of the smoke particles.
