El Paso is going through the strangest year since the actual dust bowl

If you live in El Paso, Las Cruces or Ciudad JUárez and you feel that you were inhaling the Chihuahuan desert recently, you do not imagine things. Borderplex has witnessed its oldest season since the Dust Bowl, which is the destroyed dirt storm that struck North America a century ago.

NASA’s water satellite took an atmosphere of low -Earth air orbit on April 27. The spaces of air portable molecules are part of a group of continuous storms that pulsate the paper, the cross -border area that includes southern New Mexico, western Texas, and the Mexican state in Xihua. The pictorial storm is the latest in a series of beds of a dried lake and dry soil in the southern sky.

Thomas Jill, an environment scientist at the University of Texas at El Passo, at a NASA Observatory, said at a NASA Earth Observatory, at a NASA Earth Observatory, at a NASA Earth Observatory, at a NASA Earth Observatory, at one of the NASA Observations, at one of the NASA Observatory, at one of the NASA Observations, at the NASA Observatory, at the NASA Observatory to the Earth NASA, the season of the soil of this year is this year The soil season this year “one is truly exceptional-one for standard books.” Release. Generation tracked dust activity all over the planet (and Borderplex specifically) for decades.

Gil said that the event that was filmed above is the tenth “full” storm for this year-a full event as a storm that reduces the vision to less than half a mile. This is more than five times the average storm 1.8 per year – and makes 2025 the worst dust season since 1936, when the dust of America has swept, lying in El Passo with 11 storms.

Why are there a lot of storms this year? You can blame this on a climate climate of dryness and wind that breaks the record. Gil said that March was the most famous month in the region for more than 50 years, and the region in “the worst drought that we saw in a decade at least.” She thanks the banging sinuses of Al -Saleh Al -Saleh their fortunate stars, it is not in the southwest now.

But dirt storms are not just eyes. Events Contribute For traffic accidents and raising the risk of heart respiratory problems, it may get worse Valley feverFungal infection. A generation and colleagues estimated that dust storms are more than 150 billion dollars of damage at the national level every year, as farmers, energy industries, health care and families be struck in particular.

NASA’s satellites and modeling tools help to monitor scientists and understand how dust travels better – reality in the atmosphere, molecules can pass large distances. In March, one of the storms sent particles to Greenland, according to Santiago Gaso, an air scientist at the University of Maryland and is based at the Guudard Space Center in NASA, in the same version.

So far in 2025, Borderplex has occupied 28 days of Dusty-which exceeds the annual average of 22 over the last quarter of the century-and more dust in the region this week. If you don’t have it, you may want to stop cleaning your windows.
