Good evening all!

Just a few minutes ago I have taken this photo, with the thickest dust haze I haver seen in the 15 years I live in this place.

And there is more to come according to the Barbados Meteorological Service (BMS). The relief is forecast to begin on Wednesday for Barbados.

Affected persons with respiratory illnesses should have all their medications and/or inhalers at hand when leaving their homes. And don't forget to up the before mentioned items.

Good night everyone!

Good evening All!

The Saharan Dust Haze makes a return.

The CAP BMS information statement:

I spare myself a screenshot of the plume to come, because it looks almost the same, like the one in my previous report. However, if someone wants to follow it up, you can do that here: https://zoom.earth/maps/satellite/#view

But be aware, that link only shows it properly once the sun is up in our region and across the Atlantic back to where plume is coming from.

Good night to all.
