Sahara Dust

Every March, Sahara Dust makes it way to the Caribbean. With winds of 24 mph or more, the entire island of Bonaire is coated in red dust.

A volcano recently erupted in St. Vincent. It seems that the volcano ash would be blown west over Bonaire and on to central America.  The weather reporters said that the ash has to be blown high enough to be caught by the trade winds. We have not gotten any ash or smoke from the St. Vincent volcano.

We do have Sahara Dust everywhere.  It coats the cars, patio, floors, furniture and even clouds the swimming pool.  We have had hazy days for a week now.  Today was the first day of blue sky and sunshine.

The dust does make for great sunsets.
