Good afternoon, everyone.

Never again have I seen such a sand transfer from the Sahara desert. I
woke up in a yellow light, now it's all reddish-yellow outside and
visibility is down to around 500 m and dropping fast! Last night's light
(mud)rain was the cause for instant, visible stains in clothes. Skies
totally obscured with dust, land and air have become one.

See the dense stream of sand on these MODIS images,.
