The wind carried large quantities of sand from the Sahara to Switzerland. This was reported by the Swiss portal 24heures.

It is said that we are talking about 180 thousand tons of fine particles of sand dust from North Africa. Usually, this phenomenon does not have a significant impact on human health. Sand grains in the air can turn the landscape yellow and cause clouds to form.

Swiss weather service MeteoSuisse explained to Network X that the country is experiencing a “significant decrease in visibility and solar illumination.”

In turn, the newspaper Le Figaro reported that a similar problem was encountered on Saturday in southeastern France.

“On March 30, the sky in Nice was covered by a cloud of sand from the Sahara. On the Promenade des Anglais, cars were covered in sand,” the report said.

We remind you that the next three days will be hot, dry and sunny in Kyiv. However, this weather will not last long – weather forecasters predict a severe cold snap and rain.
