‘Dense cloud’ of Saharan dust approaches
SAN JUAN — A dense cloud of Sahara dust is approaching on the way to the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. It will occupy our islands for at least three consecutive days, starting from today in the afternoon hours and extending until early Sunday in moderate to high concentrations. The peak day will be tomorrow.
Friday we’ll have also have the second tropical wave of the year moving far south that shouldn’t bring major changes to the scene we’ve seen these days. Then, dry 🌤 heat 🥵 and fog 😷until Sunday, as the third tropical wave of the year approaches.
From now on we will enter the typical pattern of tropical waves followed by dust clouds from the Sahara and so on. This cycle typically extends through mid-August, when waves and hurricanes become more dominant in the Atlantic.
