A sandstorm in Gran Canaria, or the Canary Islands in general, is often referred to as a "calima." This phenomenon occurs when warm, dry air from the Sahara Desert carries fine sand and dust over long distances, affecting visibility and air quality. Calimas can lead to hazy skies and respiratory issues for sensitive individuals.
