WILLEMSTAD - The Meteorological Service has issued a warning about a significant amount of Saharan dust expected to hover over the ABC islands this weekend. The dust particles are anticipated to result in whitish skies and reduced visibility across the region. Individuals with allergies and respiratory issues are strongly advised to take necessary precautions. Notably, the initial traces of Saharan dust were spotted above Bonaire last Wednesday.
According to Meteo's weather forecast, Friday is expected to be predominantly partly cloudy, with most areas experiencing dry conditions. However, Saturday morning may see a temporary overcast sky on Curaçao, along with a possibility of local showers.
Residents and visitors are encouraged to stay informed about the weather conditions and adhere to health recommendations, especially those susceptible to respiratory concerns. The impact of Saharan dust on air quality underscores the importance of taking preventive measures during this weather event.
