Show Notes

Dust Across the Sea: Sahara’s Storm Blanket Sweeps Over the Caribbean delivers a hard-edged documentary account of the massive Saharan dust plume that pushed across the Atlantic and smothered the Caribbean in a heavy, unmoving haze. Through grounded detail and steady pressure, the story tracks how a distant storm reshaped daily life, muted the region’s light, altered work and travel, strained public health systems, and exposed the vulnerability of island environments. As the dust settles, scientists and communities confront the deeper truth: this was not an isolated event but part of a growing pattern tied to a shifting climate.
