As MeteoGib has been flagging up the last few days, the cut-off LOW/ DANA can be clearly seen developing West of Iberia, this is driving increased dust across the peninsula today bringing hazier skies and dusty rain with showers.

#Gibraltar #Weather - 07/04
A cloudier, hazy day with #SaharanDust and some showers pushing in from the West across the area, which may become locally heavy later and bring the risk of a rumble of thunder, but more especially over nearby Spain/ Morocco.
A gentle or moderate Easterly easing, 19C.

As MeteoGib flagged up yesterday, a new influx of Saharan dust moves in today/ tonight as winds aloft turn more S'ly ahead of that new cut-off LOW/ DANA developing W of Iberia - expect increasing hazy skies + dusty rain with any showers.

#Gibraltar #EasterMonday #Weather - 06/04
A bright and breezy start with a moderate Easterly, gusty in exposed areas, giving way to hazy sunshine then cloudy skies later, as high cloud/ #SaharanDust increase then medium cloud. It should stay dry, with a low risk of a shower later. Winds easing. 20C.

Saharan dust from North Africa has turned the sky over Greece a surreal Martian red.

Meanwhile, severe overnight storms caused massive flooding near Athens, leaving one person dead.

#TheLolgic #SaharanDust #greece #crete #athens

The large plume of #SaharanDust that left the African coast on March 30th is making its way across the Atlantic Ocean and is forecast to begin affecting T&T and the Lesser Antilles from April 8th.

Until then, mostly dust-free days are forecast: ttweathercenter.com/2026/04/03/n...

Saharan Dust Storm Brings Red Skies and Disruptions to Crete The Greek island of Crete is experiencing an unusual weather event as a Saharan dust storm has turned its typically clear blue skies a deep red. The dust was carried from Africa by a powerful storm system, coinciding with the effects of Storm Erminio, which brought heavy rainfall and strong winds to the region. Residents have been using face masks to protect against the dust, while vehicles and buildings have been coated in mud due to the rain mixing with the particles. A red weather warning remained in effect until late Thursday. Travel to and from Crete has been disrupted, with delays affecting flights and ferries, particularly ahead of the Easter holiday. Mainland Greece has also suffered, with a fatality reported near Athens due to flooding. Other islands, including Santorini, have been affected, and similar dust storms hit Libya, prompting a state of emergency in Tobruk. These extreme weather events highlight ongoing concerns about climate change in the region, which has faced destructive floods and wildfires in recent years.

Climate change is altering Saharan dust – and Europe is downwind Rising temperatures and shifting winds are changing how dust travels from the Sahara to Europe.
