Sunny and windy this afternoon.

Slightly hazy blue sky at 8am.

The forecast is for it to be hazy as we have Calima conditions which is bringing in suspended dust from Africa. A Yellow Alert is in place for the suspended dust and for a strong wind.

The shade temperature will be 24 with a 25 kph NE wind which will increase to a 40 kph E this evening.

The sky has turned yellow, so there's a lot of sand in the air.  It's one of the worst Calimass that there has been for sometime.  22 degrees with an increasing wind.

[Captain Sensible]

The calima conditions got really bad this afternoon, but things are a bit clearer this evening.

There's so much sand been deposited everywhere.

[Captain Sensible]

A hazy sky at 08.30 and a blustery wind.

The forecast is for a hazy day as the calima continues. The shade temperature is forecast to be 25 with up to a 30 kph E wind.

There are Yellow Alerts in place for suspended dust, a strong wind and rough seas.

Our friends are stuck in Lanzarote as the ferry crossings between Playa Blanca and Corralejo were cancelled yesterday and might be today.

The calima has got thicker as the morning has gone on, so visibility is reduced. 23 degrees at 12.15.

Saw it on the news this morning Steve, reminded me of the smogs in the 50s

[Captain Sensible]

Apparently, it's been the worst calima for 20 years.  I swept the front path and patio this morning and got a dustpan full of orange dust.  I've just swept it again and got the same amount.
All flights in Canarian airspace were cancelled.

All schools in the Canary Islands will be closed tomorrow.
