    Saharan dust: Dirty rain for Florida

Saharan dust
Dirty rain for Florida

It's rainy season for Florida but the addition of Saharan dust may make for less-than-refreshing showers this weekend.

Saharan dust can help tamp down tropical activity in the Atlantic, but when it makes its way across the Atlantic and into the U.S., it can lead to dirty rain and respiratory issues for some. This weekend the Sunshine State will be dealing with an influx of Saharan dust.

The WeatherRadar shows numerous showers and storms in the forecast for Florida this weekend, but when raindrops combine with dust particles, they can leave a dirty film on any surfaces they hit. You may need to wash your car after this weekend!

When it's not raining, Saharan dust can lead to vibrant sunrises and sunsets and respiratory issues. If you are in a sensitive group, make sure to keep an eye on our air quality feature this weekend.

The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
