“A big role was played by the fact that there was no rain, so the dust was not “washed out” and remained suspended in the atmosphere for a long time”
With his post on social media, Mr director of the EMY, Thodoris Kolidas, informs about the intense phenomenon of African dust that “suffocated” many areas of the country, including Athens, creating eerie images.
He points out that he researched evidence of cases with large dust transports, which he conveys through his post. According to Thodoris Kolydas we had similar cases in: 7 March 1902, 28 March 1931, 23 April 1965, 14 April 2008, 21 May 2008 and 17 April 2005, 25/2/2001, 24/2/2006, 6/3/2009, 21/5/2008 and 10 /11/2010.
The director of EMY, referring to Athens, notes that “is the most intense event” adding that “a big role was played by the fact that there was no rain – as it usually happens -, so the dust was not “washed out” and remained suspended in the atmosphere for a long time”.
With reference to eerie color in the sky, notes that it was created due to the scattering of light, where an important role was played by the time when the max of the transport coincided with the sunset.
