Tenerife Weather

Lots of calima dust again today .....
Was already sneesing at night and now tru the day also got eyes itching ....
I want some rain that cleans it out of the air.

same here, perikles has been thinking he has a cold but it seems clearly to be a calima reaction, as you say itchy eyes, runny nose. Filthy air, and yet again I can't begin to understand the people who think calimas and heatwaves are good news for us here!

Janet,

Is there somewhere in Tenerife ( south ? ) a station mesuring the dust particles in the air you can follow online?

I know it exists in Belgium, but to follow dust from diesel and factories for peaple with healthproblems.

Hopefully it will clear soon so Pericles and me and Alexander stop sneesing .

The only one I know is THIS one (doesn't appear to be working right at the moment but it's normally OK).

Someone sneezed on the meter and it broke today

And with today being the midway point between the autumn equinox and the winter solstice comes the news that after several unnaturally warm weeks, we now have a more wintery feel with lower temperatures which will become more noticeable towards the weekend. We might even see a little rain from this weekend, something that will please many who have a wary eye on the reservoirs here - currently around 40% average and needing some decent rainfall. Next week a meteorological depression could cause some instability - and trigger the first post of the winter weather 2017-18 post! For the moment, happy Halloween!

So are you ready to revisit this diagnosis, Mrs Magic Mountain?

pfft ... looked just like a calima reaction, until I got it too ... after the calima had gone! I admit that it's worse than I thought it was when I thought it was a calima reaction, but when a bloke's ill, it's hard to tell ...

Oh dear, it's going round in tenerife and in the uk.
