Good pic. If you expand it you can see 3 different colors in the sun.

We always come to SXM in mid June and it seems that Sahara dust is often a function at that time of year.

Sahara dust does a lot to keep the tropical storms and hurricanes at bay.

As a property owner you should. It's supposed to help curtailing tropical storms and destructive hurricanes.

I had a nice sunset image as well due to the Sahara sand in the air:

Nice picture. It seems this time of year in SXM, there is always Sahara dust.

We have also experienced the Sahara dust but can’t recall if it was during our Fall or Spring trip.

One word of caution that I will share - whatever the timeframe. I managed to get the worse sun burn I’ve ever gotten and yes, I was using my sunscreen wisely at the time. I don’t know for sure if the Sahara dust was a factor or not but I’m inclined to think it was. An ounce of protection………🙂🙂

We have had a bad haze in the sky here in Ohio the last few days, due to forest fire smoke from Canada. There has been a health alert here. Hope the sun will emerge again Thursday...It has resembled the summer Mt. St. Helens blew its volcano stuff into the air....

I saw that on the news last night, weird looking sky in NYC and DC. Hopefully those forest fires abate soon.
