Ghana 20 New Year Drone Pics

We're in the dusty season.  Called Harmattan where the sand dust from the desert seems to suspend itself here for months.  Horrible and for me with a susceptible chest this is not so good.

Even my drone picks up the dust when flying.  I took a few shots today and you can see the haze.

View out over our Condo complex.  See the dust everywhere.

The Harmattan is a season in the West African subcontinent, which occurs between the end of November and the middle of March. It is characterized by dry and dusty northeasterly trade wind, of the same name, which blows from the Sahara Desert over West Africa into the Gulf of Guinea.

Effects

Harmattan haze over Ho, Ghana

The air is particularly dry and desiccating when the Harmattan blows over the region. The Harmattan brings desert-like weather conditions: it lowers the humidity, dissipates cloud cover, prevents rainfall formation and sometimes creates big clouds of dust which can result in dust storms or sandstorms.

The heavy amount of dust in the air can severely limit visibility and block the sun for several days,^[8]comparable to a heavy fog. 

Humidity drops to as low as 15%, which can result in spontaneous nosebleeds for some people.^[7] Other health effects on humans may include conditions of the skin (whiteness and dryness of the skin), eyes, and respiratory system, including aggravation of asthma.
