Clouds of Saharan dust have blanketed Athens and other Greek cities on Tuesday, in what authorities are calling one of the worst such episodes to hit the country since 2018.
A yellow-orange haze has cloaked the region after days of strong winds from the south, reducing visibility and prompting warnings from authorities about respiratory risks.
“It is one of the most intense episodes of dust and sand concentrations from the Sahara since 21 and 22 March 2018, when the clouds mainly affected the island of Crete,” said Kostas Lagouvardos, director of research at the National Observatory of Athens’ meteorology department, as quoted by the Guardian.

The Sahara Desert releases between 60m and 200m tonnes of dust every year. While larger particles fall back to earth quickly, smaller ones can travel thousands of kilometres, potentially reaching all of Europe.
