It's been overcast for a week. And it's not water vapur that obscures the sun. It's dust. A fine white powdery dust that gets in through the smallest cracks, covers the furniture, carpets, bedding, laundry, sinuses and lungs. Now I understand why every house is furnished with a tumble dryer, you couldn't dare put you washing outside!Everyone is weezing and coughing. The Saudi Grass (astroturf) in the toddlers' play area is saturated with dust, the stuff is just everywhere!
I have tried to photograph it but have just not been succesful so here are some images from another website, www.guardian.co.uk/world/gallery/2009/mar/10/saudiarabia-sandstorms#/
