Dust from the Sahara is once again on its way to our country. There will be very high concentrations above Belgium on Wednesday, and we will also be able to find sahara dust at ground level. But how does this dust from a desert more than 2,000 kilometers away get to us? Why do we speak of dust and not of sand? And what is its impact on our weather and our environment? Meteorologist Jonas De Bodt explains what exactly Sahara dust is, when we might encounter it and how you can recognize it.
