I recently bought a black pick up and have notice the horrendous dust:ermm: that is making me wash it every day in order to keep it looking good. I went to the weather report today and it was headlined "widespread dust". Whats going on with all the dust. Are we generating it?? If not where is it coming from and who do I call to tell them to stop it?

Dust in the DR?
Interesting article
Thanks for the article. I do remember the dust problem when I lived in Fl. No dusty roads nearby so I guess its coming from Africa. The truck is a nuisance to keep clean but it sure looks good for about 5 minutes after I wash her. I survived the dust in Fl guess I will survive it here. Thanks for the input.

of course
Why, Sosua naturally, heh,heh. As a matter of fact we do have one small road nearby but with our normal coastal wind it blows the dust away from my house so I am ok unless I drive my new truck down the road. The only safe dust less place is the garage.

i am glad we have that saharan dust around the Isles this time of the year.
without the heavy dry saharan air/SAL the lil tropical wave Ana would have been easily a Cat 3 hurricane when it reached our shores last weekend.
yeap,
i have a dark car myself,
so i wish every motodriver who pushes dust in the air aside the road to hell,
but the first minutes after washing that color looks soooo goood, ha ha ha

While there are remnants of dust storms that come from Africa, the dust you are experiencing is more likely from a combination of lack of rain together with the existence of unpaved roads and lots of traffic.
The Mistrals from North Africa will literally dump red sand on the yachts in Monaco in the August / September time of year but I had no idea that the winds blow that far this way and could still hold the sand.
But then again thats where the storms orginate
I am trying to figure why my eyes burn and water while I am driving around on my scooter.

Mr Hartley,
Dominican dust does not generally identify itself with black or brown and there is also some controversy over its African origins.
