Have you heard about this?

“A massive dust storm that’s been moving west from central Africa is creating a pocket of dry air. That dry air is slowing down tropical activity as it passes through the Atlantic Ocean, and it could last for the next couple of weeks.

The occurrence is called the ‘Saharan Air Layer’ by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It’s a common phenomenon that lifts dust particles from the desert up 5,000 to 20,000 feet above the earth. What follows is little rain, no tropical systems and — eventually — stunning sunsets.

‘One unique aspect of the dust will be our sunsets being incredibly vivid. Saharan dust is orange and red, so as the sun sets through the haze you’ll get bright, brilliant sunsets.’”

So we decided to throw a Saharan Sunset Patio Party!

Nothing fancy - bring some food, drink some beer, hang out with friends. We’re going to let Mother Nature do all the work and, hopefully, we’ll have a great view!
