      Hi, I live on Costa Rica. My son and myself have allergies issues to dust. Windy has been a good tool to care about ourself, I wonder if can track the Sahara dust with Dust mass layer?

        Yes you can.
        As you live far away from Sahara, I'm not sure if the dust from the desert has a concentration that can "trigger" your alergies.
        On the "dust mass" use the picker to see the value.

        Crosscheck it with your alergies and try to find your "personal limits".
        In my opinion, values>100 are critical.
