Saharan Dust

A massive plume of Saharan dust, the largest of the 2024 hurricane season, is moving across the Atlantic towards the Gulf of Mexico and Florida.

Some bacteria can travel from one continent to another ''hidden'' in atmospheric dust, according to a new study which says these microbes may not only affect human and animal health, but also impact climate and ecosystems.

Colonel Doug Hurley, who is currently on board the International Space Station, shared a photo of a Saharan dust plume spreading over the Atlantic Ocean a few hours ago.

The sky over London turned an unusual shade of yellow on Monday as Storm Ophelia brought dust from the Sahara and smoke from wild fires in southern Europe that filtered out certain wavelengths of sunlight.
