Looks like SoCal fire season. Welcome to the haze.
So how will NATO respond to this?
The Sahara dust cloud shouldn't have stopped at Berlin
oh so that's really what it was,
ive seen a weirdly yellow sky recently.
i thought it may be sahara sand, but i wasnt sure, because i was used to it being a more of an orange color.
Just some background info for those not familiar with this Sahara-Dust phenomenon:
This happens all the time, and has for a long time. It is just a byproduct of being so close to this monster of a desert.
Même dans les Caraïbes ça arrive fréquemment malgré les 6000km de distance.
I can always tell when it's happening, not by any visual phenomena but because my car gets covered in this dusty dirt. I live in England.
Bet the sunsets will be nice though, yes?
