Therre be blood rain in these parrts!
#SaharanDust

☀️ Desert dust from the Sahara — 4,000 km away — is literally falling on British cars right now.

🌅 Amber skies. Red rain. And a science reason nobody explains properly.

Hint: iron oxides are involved.

The intense #SaharanDust plume over the North Atlantic is predicted to reach western Europe in the coming days in the #CopernicusAtmosphere forecast. These episodes are not uncommon at this time of the year, particularly impacting air quality and visibility in Canary Islands and Madeira. Further afield there is the possibility of dust deposition and/ or hazy skies.

Saharan dust could bring hazy skies and vivid sunsets to Houston. But it also could pose serious health risks for people with respiratory conditions.

🔥 A feedback loop in motion
More fires → more soot → more melt → more warming → more fires. This loop is especially dangerous in the Arctic and high mountain regions, where glacier loss has knock-on effects for sea level rise, water supply, and biodiversity

💙 We can change this collectively - by reducing the burning of fossil fuels, preventing wildfires, and traveling sustainably. Follow Glacierwatch for more facts about Glaciers.

#Hazy sky to persist as Canadian #WildfireSmoke and #SaharanDust invade US

More smoke and dust are ahead for the northern, eastern and southern states into mid-June, as AccuWeather meteorologists continue to track Canadian wildfires and dust sweeping in from Africa.

By Bill Deger, AccuWeather senior meteorologist

Published Jun 5, 2025 11:10 AM EDT | Updated Jun 6, 2025

"The haze is here to stay. Rounds of smoke from hundreds of Canadian wildfires, as well as dust blowing off Sub-Saharan Africa, will continue to envelop portions of the United States into the summer, say AccuWeather meteorologists.

"Recent rounds of smoke blowing across the northern and eastern U.S. over the last week resulted in a hazy sky, poor air quality and vibrant sunrises and sunsets. While the smoke has mostly retreated back into Canada as of late this week, additional episodes are expected through the summer, with the first expected early next week.

"Meanwhile, the Saharan dust will result in similar effects in the South, mostly in Florida and areas surrounding the Gulf and southwestern Atlantic. A recent round of dust blowing off of Africa will also have the effect of putting a temporary lid on potential tropical development."
