Dust from the Sahara desert covered Varna for the second time since the beginning of the year. Fine dust particles are visible on most cars and windows in the city. The phenomenon is clearly observed because it rained last night.
Saharan dust reaches our country carried by air currents. This usually happens after a sandstorm in North Africa.
“During the last month, we saw a lot of dust moving to Western Europe, a lot to the Central Mediterranean, we also had it in Bulgaria and at the moment, since the flow is from the south-southwest, from last night and today it has covered Eastern Bulgaria, and already Black Sea,” weather forecaster Vyara Rafailova told BNT.
The direction of air currents depends on which regions in our country the phenomenon will be observed.
“Depending on what the circulation is, it gets directed. When it coincides with precipitation, it slides down quickly to the ground and we all see muddy rain, muddy windows, muddy cars. When there’s no precipitation, it settles very, very slowly and we don’t we notice it to such a great extent,” adds Vyara Rafailova, forecaster.
Forecasters say that within two days the cloud of fine dust particles will move northeast towards the Black Sea.
