Looks like the Sorrocco will be in place when I arrive in Spain next
week. Every one I know keeps telling me it's going to 47°c there next
week. A bit optomistic I think for the coast.

I notice it look thundery over Spain atm, looking at the satellite
image. Also a nearby weather station..

It appears to my untrained eye, that a huge sandstorm is currently in
the north-west part of Sahara desert ?

The SKIRON model would seem to agree - http://forecast.uoa.gr/dustindx.html
