With Saharan dust outbreaks to remain a yearly reality, some immediate relief is in sight as forecasters are predicting improving conditions into next week.
Senior meteorologist with the Barbados Meteorological Services (BMS), Semelka Jackman, said while the island experienced one of its more significant dust events at the beginning of June, only a slight layer of dust remained over the island and was expected to ease last night with no major dust plumes expected through Sunday.
The forecast comes after residents spent several days coping with poor air quality, sinus irritation, watery eyes and respiratory discomfort as a thick plume of Saharan dust drifted across the island.
