🌬️ What is calima?
Calima is a weather phenomenon in the Canary Islands caused by dry, dust-laden air blown in from the Sahara. It lowers visibility, fills the sky with a yellow-orange haze and raises airborne particulate (PM10) levels. Episodes typically last 1–3 days but can extend to a week.

🩺 How to handle it
- Close windows and avoid drying clothes outside to stop dust getting indoors.
- Limit outdoor sport and long walks, especially for children, the elderly and people with asthma or heart conditions.
- If you need to go out during a severe episode, a FFP2 mask noticeably reduces exposure.
- Flights to and from Tenerife can be delayed or diverted when visibility drops below the minimum.
