6. Thanks God! 'Dust from the Sahara Desert is putting a pause on hurricane activity'

A massive dust storm that’s been moving west from central Africa is creating a pocket of dry air.

That dry air is slowing down tropical activity as it passes through the Atlantic Ocean, and it could last for the next couple of weeks.

“One unique aspect of the dust will be our sunsets being incredibly vivid,” Davis said. “Saharan dust is orange and red, so as the sun sets through the haze you’ll get bright, brilliant sunsets.”
