Dust from the Sahara, which was observed yesterday in Greece, today reached the territory of Ukraine.

This was reported by the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center.

They noted that dust can be traced over the southern and central regions and spreads to the north.

Since in most of the country The weather is determined by a cyclone and moist air masses, which will facilitate the interception of dust particles by water droplets in clouds and precipitation.

Therefore, this dust will be washed out of the atmosphere faster, however, in some areas this phenomenon can give the clouds a yellowish tint, and the falling raindrops themselves will contain this dust and will not be crystal clear.

Dust will remain in the atmosphere over Ukraine until Friday and from Friday to Saturday it will retreat to the east and the atmosphere will clear.

In early April, most regions of Ukraine were already “arriving” dust from the Sahara. Meteorologists have advised closing windows as the dust can be harmful to people with respiratory problems, the elderly and children.
