The Saharan Air Layer is a dry, dusty air mass that forms over the Sahara Desert , the largest and hottest desert in the world.

Each summer , seasonal weather patterns like the West African Monsoon and high-pressure systems create strong winds that sweep across the Sahara .

These winds pick up tiny particles known as aeolian dust and lift them into the atmosphere.

They can travel more than 5,000 miles , often reaching the Caribbean , Florida , and the Gulf Coast .

The dust can lower air quality and pose problems for people with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions.
