Anyone who steps out of the front door in Tyrol at this time sees a phenomenon that has already been observed around this time in previous years. The Sahara dust obscures distant vision and creates an almost mystical atmosphere. The “Tiroler Krone” made a video (above) and photos of the weather spectacle.
The experts from GeoSphere Austria explain the phenomenon, which is not the first time it has been observed in Tyrol: “Under certain weather conditions, Sahara dust in North Africa is picked up by strong winds and transported to higher air layers. From there it can be transported over long distances with the right large-scale airflow.”
Sahara dust has been hanging over Tyrol since Tuesday
The Sahara dust has been hanging in Tyrol since Tuesday. It should gradually disappear again from Monday. The forecast precipitation should flush it out of the air. By the way, the peak of the freight will probably be reached on Sunday afternoon.
