Saharan Dust: Where Is It Now, How Will It Affect Hurricane Season?

Now that Beryl is in the history books, what’s next for the 2024 hurricane season? The tropics are quiet right now - which we can thank the Saharan Air Layer for.

The latest video on the website gives a rather quaint explanation of the MJO effect and why it may bring more favorable conditions for storms.
I live in the Caribbean and I follow these situations closely, so please make a more detailed report on the MJO effect and how it could override the Saharan dust effect.

Saharan Dust aka. Nano Dust.

Another dust bowl. Isn’t it? If so, it would be among the first since the 1930s.

You do realize that South Florida is under a heat advisory we need is a thunderstorm not a hurricane for that I'm going to agree and disagree with you .

[@johnnyfrancois9491]

Trust me I know what you mean I live in Miami it’s been hot hopefully we don’t have a hurricane come this way at all

[@lazarorivero9143]

@@johnnyfrancois9491 also will we need is a thunderstorm to produce Heavy Rain into South Florida so then we won't go into another drought because we are falling behind the rainy season why do I want thunderstorms instead of hurricanes because thunderstorms do you have rain and they do cause a little bit of flooding while hurricanes on the other hand they bring heavier rain but unfortunately they do damage and they produce flash flooding which is really dangerous.
