Is that St. Thomas over there? Desert dust or volcano ash? The haze caused by Sahara dust is usually a summer thing. The hazy air of late might also have some ash mixed in from the Soufriere Hills volcano on Montserrat. There was some volcano activity this week, according to the Montserrat Volcano Observatory. (Check out the picture gallery. Pretty cool.) 4 Responses to “Is that St. Thomas over there?”Leave a Reply |

Sahara dust passes through during spring and summer. Reported by the Dept of Planning and Natural Resources the affect will last another few days, and the cause is desert dust.

I was watching the same thing throughout the day on the Villa Serendipity webcam http://www.serendipity.vi/
(pictures update ever 30 seconds)
I thought it was just raining!

If it’s Montserrat or Saharan dust, it doesn’t matter. It’s really, really hazy here and has been for two and a half days. Aside from that, there have been big winds. And, big waves on the North Shore. But, I’m not really complaining. I’m just a little cranky because we leave tomorrow after two weeks on island.
