So instead of giant ice cubes we need dust blobs, got it.
Stay there all summer long
Blob? It’s a blob? No it is not a blob. It’s a cloud. There is nothing remotely blobesque about a plume of sand. It’s dry. Sandy. Particulate. Blobs are wet. Sticky. Oozy. *Blob*. Fer cryin’ out loud.
Yay back to freezing temps, it was almost warm after six months of winter.
Not this shit again I have a white car 🫣
These dust clouds keep hurricanes from forming or weakens their formations.
Funny how these media sources always use these ridiculously exaggerated images.
What the dust plume actually looks like today is [this](https://worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov/?v=-79.55790724735887,-7.27163304234022,16.904371846673214,41.82426377821978&l=Reference_Labels_15m(hidden),Reference_Features_15m(hidden),Coastlines_15m,VIIRS_NOAA20_CorrectedReflectance_TrueColor(hidden),VIIRS_SNPP_CorrectedReflectance_TrueColor,MODIS_Aqua_CorrectedReflectance_TrueColor(hidden),MODIS_Terra_CorrectedReflectance_TrueColor(hidden)&lg=true&t=2024-04-16-T20%3A46%3A33Z).
Looks like we gonna be mad maxn’ up on this rock. Yeeeeee huuuuuurrrrr
is this the climate solution?
Isn’t it the Sahara that fertilises the Amazon Basin? We could do with a bit of Sahara in Scotland, had hailstones today!
hurricane season always starts after the Saharan dust that comes every year. once the spring winds settle then the storms blow up.
