Saharan dust blankets Caribbean as ‘significant’ cloud triggers air quality alerts, ‘severe dust haze’ warnings
(Worthy News) – The sunny, blue skies of the Caribbean were shrouded in dust on Monday as a dense plume of Saharan dust that experts say hasn’t been seen in half a century moved into the region as it makes its way towards the U.S.
The National Weather Service (NWS) office in San Juan, Puerto Rico, said that Saharan dust had overspread this area on Monday morning, with visibility of only 5 miles reported.
“Saharan dust concentrations are expected to peak today and tomorrow,” forecasters said. “Visibilities near and even below 6 miles are likely across the region, with the dust concentrations declining during the day on Wednesday, though still remaining quite high.”
