YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Canary Islands have been engulfed by an "apocalyptic" sandstorm carrying red dust from the Sahara desert, grounding flights in and out.

Visibility across the likes of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura has been severely impacted by the weather, which arrived as many families tried to return to the UK from a half-term break.
