Saharan dust to cover most regions of Ukraine today

1 April , 2024  

On Monday, April 1, most regions of Ukraine will be covered with dust from the Sahara, and the sky will be cloudy, the Ukrainian Weather Center reports.

“The heat wave from the western Mediterranean, which has brought us abnormally high temperatures in recent days, has also brought dust from the Sahara (this is clearly visible on the EUMETSAT satellite image). Residents of the western region could observe it yesterday, and today it will spread to most regions of Ukraine,” the post on Facebook reads.

The Ukrhydrometeorological Center urges to close windows, as the dust can be harmful to the elderly and children, as well as to people with respiratory diseases.
