This is because visibility is limited, so Greek authorities asked people with respiratory conditions not to stay outside for long, wear face masks and avoid exercising outdoors.
These measures will be carried out until the dust clouds that were blown by the strong southern winds towards the southern part of the country clear, and the dull orange clouds have reached the city of Thessaloniki, in the north of the country.
How dangerous is this phenomenon?
According to the National Observatory of Athens, this event is one of the most serious episodes of dust and sand pollution from the Sahara, since 2018, when the clouds settled over the island of Crete, which is why even the authorities warned about the increased concentrations of pollution microparticles.

However, despite this, some Athenians decided to climb to the top of some of the hills of Athens to enjoy the majestic view of the orange tone that surrounds the capital.
On the other hand, the national meteorological service (EMY) indicated that for this Wednesday the skies are expected to clear as the winds change and move the dust.
