Why are Europe's skies turning orange? A massive Saharan dust cloud is on the way | Euronews

This article explains that Europe's skies, including Portugal's, are turning orange due to an approaching massive Saharan dust cloud. The dust originates from the Sahara Desert and is carried across the Atlantic by strong winds, leading to significant atmospheric changes in southern Europe. The phenomenon results in hazy, orange-tinted skies and can impact air quality and visibility in Portugal. Such dust events are seasonal and part of natural desert wind patterns, but their intensity can vary. The article highlights the importance of monitoring air quality and understanding the environmental effects of these Saharan dust intrusions.
