Sahara Desert Sand Covers Europe Again
-
Some people in Europe may notice a dust covering their cars, unusually colored sunset or dirty outside areas around their house.
What happens? The difference between zones of high and low pressure together with southerly winds swept another round of Saharan dust to Europe. The highest dust mass density appears in UK, France, Italy and Greece. The described signs can anyway be reflected in many parts of Southern and central European countries.
People susceptible to respiratory and cardiovascular issues should avoid inhaling irritating dust particles.

Hey. Desert sand presence in Europe is escalating in the past years; it went from once in 10 years, to a couple of times a year.
Is there a probe/observation that detects the sand and we can observe the activity in windy?
Thanks!
