A new influx of Saharan dust arriving in large parts of southern Europe in the next few hours. Meteorologists predict a return of the phenomenon which in recent weeks has affected the province of La Spezia as well as the rest of the peninsula with two waves. “The influx of African air, which will begin tomorrow (Thursdayed.) from the evening, it will bring the maximum concentration of dust between Saturday and Sunday but also good weather and a few degrees higher (especially in the central hours)”, explains the Meteo Spezia website.
The phenomenon is curious but also completely normal and not uncommon, scientists underline. “Events like this are a reminder of how interconnected our planet is. Dust from the Sahara, transported by the wind, can reach thousands of kilometers away, impacting distant areas such as Northern Italy. Accurate monitoring is essential to understand these natural phenomena,” Arpal underlines.
Nonetheless, the appearance of the annoying patina on terraces, windows and cars has not failed to fuel the most bizarre conspiracy theories, providing courage to the proponents of the evergreen hoax of chemtrails and insidious geo-engineering projects carried out by phantom global elites. With the addition this time of some unlikely images generated by artificial intelligence as a corollary. The advice for everyone is to hang out the clothes at home.
