💨 Abstract

A Saharan dust cloud is expected to blanket popular British holiday islands in the Canaries starting Friday. The cloud will affect visibility and air quality, bringing dust from North Africa. Areas like Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, and Tenerife will be impacted, potentially aggravating respiratory conditions in tourists. The maximum temperature is forecast to reach around 22°C. Health experts advise caution, especially for children, the elderly, and those with lung issues.
