NonilexAs northern states were dealing w/ #smoke, a large plume of #Saharan #dust is expected to spread over #GulfCoast states through Thurs. Chenard said the dust had reached parts of #Florida by Wed morning, & was expected to intensify.
“The highest concentrations of the dust is definitely going to be through today & tonight,” he said. “But there will be some at least lower concentrations that linger over Florida, probably into the weekend.”

How an ancient society in the Sahara Desert rose and fell with groundwater
With its low quantities of rain and soaring high temperatures, the Sahara Desert is often regarded as one of the most extreme and least habitable environments on Earth. While the Sahara was periodically much greener in the distant past, an ancient society living in a climate very similar to today's found a way to harvest water in the seemingly dry Sahara—thriving until the water ran out.

DoomsdaysCW#Florida is in hot water as #OceanTemperatures rise, threatening the state's #CoralReefs

"Record #global ocean heating has invaded Florida with a vengeance.
"Water temperatures in the mid-90s (mid-30s Celsius) are threatening delicate coral reefs, depriving swimmers of cooling dips and adding a bit more ick to the Sunshine State's already oppressive summer weather. Forecasters are warning of temperatures that with humidity will feel like 110 degrees (43 degrees Celsius) by week's end.
"The #HeatDome that baked #Texas and #Mexico for much of the early summer has oozed its way to Florida with sunshine, little to no cooling clouds or rain, but humidity worsened by the hot oceans.
"If that's not enough, Florida is about to get a dose of #dust from Africa's #Saharan desert that's likely to hurt air quality."
