That's kind of our deep dive for today, actually, because things are nice and quiet in the tropics.
voice-verified
And one of the reasons for that is this big plume of Saharan dust that we have been tracking.
voice-verified
And we typically see this every year in the early portion of the hurricane season.
voice-verified
And it's one of the reasons it's kind of a slow start to the season over what we call the main development region.
voice-verified
Now, we have this graphic up showing the African West African monsoon.
voice-verified
where we see the trade winds come together.
voice-verified
And once it gets out of the open waters of the Atlantic, we call that the ITCZ.
voice-verified
That's the intertropical convergence zone where those winds come together and you see these parade of tropical waves.
voice-verified
But this time of the year, the easterly flow, those trade winds
voice-verified
are helping to bring in Saharan dust off of the African continent over the main development region.
voice-verified
And that does a few things.
voice-verified
It keeps our water temperatures a little bit cooler over the main development region.
voice-verified
It also serves to really increase the amount of shear in the atmosphere as far as the El Nino is concerned that is developing as well.
voice-verified
So it's a big deal when it comes to the Saharan dust that we're seeing out there right now, but very typical for this time of the year, Juliano.
voice-verified
Yes.
voice-verified
So and sometimes we can see it in our skies here in the state of Florida and can have a big influence as well.
voice-verified
It can get as far as thick down in South Florida.
voice-verified
I've seen where you can see it on the cars.
voice-verified
It also has an influence on the red tide bloom as well.
voice-verified
That is very true.
