Florida Faces 'Dirty Rain' Amid Tropical Storms
News summary

Florida is experiencing an unusual weather phenomenon called 'dirty rain,' caused by Saharan dust mixing with summer thunderstorms. This dirty rain leaves a film on surfaces, affects air quality, and poses challenges for those with allergies or respiratory issues. The National Weather Service and various meteorologists forecast daily thunderstorms and potential flooding, with wind gusts up to 50 mph and rainfall between 1-3 inches. Central and South Florida are particularly affected, with heat advisories and risks of waterspouts near local waters. Despite the inconvenience, the Saharan Air Layer can also suppress tropical cyclone formation. Residents are advised to prepare for localized flooding and poor air quality.
