Dust invades Caribbean
The African dust plumes that came out of Western Africa a week ago has reached the Caribbean with very thick haze causing gray skies in Puerto Rico and in all the islands of the Lesser Antilles and the Greater Antilles.This is another sign that the pattern has changed to the more typical summerlike one with the trade winds from the east and those transport the dust from Africa.

Yeah the same here.It is unconfortable when the haze is there.
