We have been inundated with African dust this year, causing some serious problems throughout the islands for people with respiratory issues and also negatively affecting our coral reefs. With little rain in our area the skies have been hazy a lot. When we do get rain, we're back to that beautiful Caribbean blue sky. The sat pics are pretty impressive!
