Good morning.

Today is the first day of hurricane season. Hopefully everyone will be safe from any severe storms.

In the meantime, the morning synopsis from our Met Office:

SYNOPSIS:

A thick plume of Saharan dust continues to reduce visibility and degrade air quality across the region. 

Breezy conditions are due to a tight pressure gradient.

Persons with allergies and/or respiratory conditions should are advised to remain alert and take all necessary precautions. 

Small craft operators should exercise caution due to reduced visibility.

- Saharan dust
