Default Sand over Greece

Good afternoon, everyone.

Never again have I seen such a sand transfer from the Sahara desert. I
woke up in a yellow light, now it's all reddish-yellow outside and
visibility is down to around 500 m and dropping fast! Last night's light
(mud)rain was the cause for instant, visible stains in clothes. Skies
totally obscured with dust, land and air have become one.

Yannis, SE Athens
+20.8C, RH 45%, SLP 1000.1 hPa and dropping fast
