Saharan dust has returned to the region, bringing potential impacts to the Houston area. This phenomenon occurs almost every summer and is often misunderstood. The dust originates from the Sahara Desert, traveling across the Atlantic to reach the Gulf Coast.
It can cause hazy skies and lower air quality. Further details on how the Saharan dust may affect traveling, hurricanes, and sunsets in Texas are available from local news sources, including KPRC 2 in Pearland, TX.
