How dust covered Attica and then disappeared – Spooky time-lapse video by Meteo

A video that captures frame by frame how the African dust literally covered Athens during the two days of April 23-24 is published by meteo.gr

It is the Minerva Red phenomenon that caused the Attic sky to take on this orange color due to the dust, which caused serious problems for people belonging to vulnerable groups. As meteo.gr informs, the timelapse video that was made public is from the camera of the Athens Observatory in Penteli.

It is recalled that the recent episode of African dust was so intense that it mobilized both medical associations and the Ministry of Health, who advised vulnerable groups not to be exposed for long hours outside and to wear masks.

As the director of EMY, Theodoris Kolidas, stated a few days ago in his post, according to his personal opinion, the specific episode of African dust was probably the most intense that has been recorded in Athens.
