The Canary Islands are grappling with the aftermath of Storm Dorothea, which brought winds of up to 139 km/h, causing over 530 incidents.

While most damage was limited to fallen trees, blocked roads, and power outages affecting thousands, one elderly man was injured.

The storm is now moving north, but its effects linger, including delays at airports and disrupted services.

Adding to the challenges, a massive Saharan dust cloud is set to blanket the region and much of the Iberian Peninsula this week.

The dust, carried by strong winds from the storm, will worsen air quality and visibility, with health officials urging vulnerable individuals to take precautions.

The peak of this phenomenon is expected on Thursday, with significant impacts on respiratory health and daily life.
