Crikey, I think the Saharan Dust Front is upon us

So, anyway I had mentioned that parts of the country were going to see the dusts from the Sahara blow up. The weatherman said we would see them this weekend, particularly Sunday. Well it is quite dusky out there right now..and no rain is in the forecast. It is probably my imagination, but I keep thinking I smell dust too. Anyway, if it is this dark today, I wonder what tomorrow will bring?

If you smell dust, then it's probably there. We saw footage on our news tonight. I hope it doesn't get too bad.

I am sure it won't. If it brings heat relief I am all for it!

It seems a little overcast here too. I'm not going outside if I can help it, I've already had allergies and a half with all the dust I've scared up while cleaning.

It is a bit hot to consider going out today.

Hope you stay dust free but if you are smelling it you probably already got it. I thought the same thing yesterday but today is looking a lot sunnier, still sticky.

I may have imagined the dust smell, we will see what tomorrow brings...because they said we will have the most of it then. It looks pretty sunny at the moment.

My coworker keeps texting me about it. I should probably close the windows and turn the AC on for the next couple of days. No need to aggravate my asthma.

Yes, I think people with breathing problems need to be wary.

We shouldn't get it up our way. However, I've been in the Sahara and wouldn't wish it on anyone.

I didn't know either, but apparently it does happen from time to time.
