Hellish Dust Storm in Greece Leaves Athens Dark Orange

Sahara-related dust storms in Greece aren’t too unusual. But this does appear to be one of the largest seen in recent history.

“It’s one of the most serious episodes of dust and sand concentrations from the Sahara since March 21-22, 2018, when the clouds invaded the island of Crete in particular,” Kostas Lagouvardos, weather research director at the Athens Observatory, told the AP/AFP Tuesday.
