The skies over Athens transformed orange on Tuesday as clouds of dirt from the Sahara blew north, casting a spooky radiance over the Greek funding’s sites.
The sensation isn’t brand-new– sandstorms from North Africa have actually shrouded Britain, Greece and Spain in the past– however the occasion caused impressive scenes around the Castle and in various other components of Athens.
That’s since the dirt cloud was much more focused than those that have actually struck Greece in previous episodes, according to Kostas Lagouvardos, study supervisor at the National Observatory of Athens.
” It’s the most awful such instance in years,” he stated.
While the dirt had actually dissipated on Wednesday, the Greek Wellness Ministry advised individuals to stay clear of working out outdoors and to maintain their windows and doors closed.
Right here are pictures from Athens on Tuesday.
