Tremendous plumes of dust leave the Sahara desert to be blown westward across the Atlantic. This is common and sometimes frequent in summer. The dust can limit, but not stop, tropical storm development. It carries nutrients for land and water, that may lead to harmful algal blooms. It may also carry bacteria. Saharan dust reduces air quality, but may lead to more vibrant sunsets.
