Title: Weird sky?
Post by: frankie on 14 Mar, 2022, 05:50:23 pm

Is it just up on my mountain that I'm in deep cloud but the sky is deep orange like it's a total eclipse ?
I bet if it were to rain right now we'd be ankle deep in Sahara dust...
Or could it be the Apocalypse?  Scary....

Frankie, it’s la calima, but it’s all the way up to Alicante.

What's La Calima'  I've not heard of that and I certainly have not seen skies like it in the 18 yrs I've been here

La Clima just means climate but doesn't explain what this is?

OK, so got it as I had been typing in clima instead o Calima .  It's no more or less than a result of Sahara storm.  I've just not seen it this bad before,
Thanks Lmj19
