Circuit Why is Mexico always so dusty?

I get that the circuit is not used year around and since the circuit is in the city there may be dust/debris from the city hustle. But why isn't there an effort to clean the track via street sweeps or run support series say the weekend before or the same week? I feel like with the altitude and cooling issues there is already enough challenges. Why don't F1 make a better effort to make sure the track is ready for these cars?

I think the volcano near Mexico City has been spitting ash these days, that always causes problems. Also if you don’t like a higher difficulty then fuck off and skip the race
