Why is the air quality so bad now?

It seems that with unusually warm temperature came unusually bad air. Any ideas why?

Happy Easter everyone, btw!

Had to look it up, apparently a massive dust storm blew up from the Sahara.

It seems to be greyish–white dust, not red. I was puzzled at first, as well, but there seems to be more in the Sahara than red sand.

Which website is this?

It’s the built in iOS weather app

I don't know which site or app OP used, but Google Maps also has a LQI layer.
