Dust Storm

Our weather has been mild (60 – 80 degrees) but the air quality is really bad. The sand and dust is blown off the Sahara desert, called Harmatan. I’m seeing a lot of upper respiratory illnesses. Everyone is complaining about their sinuses. People with allergies are also having a time of it. I even see people riding on their mopeds and motorcycles with surgical masks on. But fortunately, our family seems to have a healthy immune system.

    In Rome we used to get the wind from Africa once in a while. They called it The Hamsin or The Sirocco. Sometimes we’d wake up to a thin layer of sand all over the streets and cars.
