Calima – what’s that?
The technical definition of “Calima” by local meteorologists is “suspended dust“.
But this weather phenomenon also accompained by an almost complete lack of other weather phenomenons: No wind, no sun, no clouds.
Except for a slight increase of the temperature, since this dust is blown here from Africa, the weather is like “stuck”.
For those of you who ever wondered what is a “calima”, here are some pictures from San Fernando/Maspalomas:
