A significant Saharan dust plume has reached Western Europe, bringing with it unusual weather phenomena and potential impacts on air quality. Countries such as France, Spain, and Portugal have already experienced the effects of the dust, with residents reporting orange sunsets, hazy skies, and a fine layer of dust settling on surfaces. The NASA/NOAA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership satellite captured high aerosol index values, confirming the presence of dust in the atmosphere.
