Saharan Dust Alters Hurricane Patterns and Brings 'Dirty Rain' to Florida

New research reveals how Saharan dust impacts hurricane formation and rainfall, while Floridians face unusual weather conditions.

Saharan dust can suppress hurricane formation but increase rainfall in existing storms.
The phenomenon known as 'dirty rain' occurs when raindrops trap dust particles, leaving a residue.
Researchers emphasize the need to consider dust in hurricane predictions due to its significant effects.
Residents in Florida are advised to be aware of potential respiratory issues from the dust.
Saharan dust also enhances sunsets and sunrises with vibrant colors.
