Sand-blasted Canaries?

News that the Canary Islands are currently experiencing sand storms redirected from the Sahara is not exactly a unique event but it does appear rather more extreme than is usual (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/24/british-tourists-stranded-in-canary-islands-after-saharan-sandstorm-blows-in). It's impossible to establish a link on the basis of one event but this could be yet another piece of evidence for climate change. It's a bit sad, if you go away on holiday to escape the rain only to get sand storms instead.

Further flowers in Bynea. Pineapple mayweed ( Chamomilla suaveolens ) and feral Cultivated apple ( Malus domestica ) put in appearances.
