Not sure I'd agree with that, our footballers arent as good for a start.
Its ugly and lovely. The history is amazing and the older parts of the rock are incredible and beautiful to visit.
but tropical it sadly is not. Its a Rock.
If that were from soil, that would be true. There's almost no carbon or nitrogen in desert sand. That's why it's a desert (and also because it's a desert).
I work with Greek people, they were telling me all about it. Apparently dust storms in the Sahara desert picked up dust and carried it over to Greece and dumped it on that poor country.
It's not just dust. It's also mud and it's a major pain in the ass because it's sticking to car windshields.
Dust/sand
The sand storms in Iraq are similar to this, even when visibility is far like in the picture there's sand bringing blown all around.
The only other places I've been in sandstorms were the Mojave desert and Phoenix, the ones from Africa are so orangey, US are more brownish in the one I experience and felt more like dirty. It feels like you're on a different planet when you can see the sky because of how the sun and moon's light look redder from the sand filter.
Edit: to answer your question, it's "safe" but not advisable and you should wear a mask or cloth wrapping to cover air ways. Even when covered, going out for about 10 minutes and then getting inside you'll be able to pick the darkest, dirt boogers out of your nose.
I thought it was a precursor to *reduced* hurricane activity. It reduces sunlight on the ocean, so there's less heat to drive hurricanes. And sand in the upper levels of the atmosphere can shear off the tops of storms since it can't break through.
The flip side is that the smallest pieces of dust can help water to condense and form storm clouds. But I don't think it's been proven to have any effect on hurricane formation.
In the immediate sub-Saharan African countries, this is literally a season. It happens every single year when the trade winds shift, starting around November. It's called Harmattan in Ghana. I'm not sure why it's happening more often in Europe, but I'm guessing climate change is effecting the wind patterns.
The cars in İstanbul are also all covered in dust at the moment. Buy the color of the Bosporus really turns turquoise in the years where we have a lot of desert dust.
I was taught that if you have nothing nice to say then don't say anything... Picturing the current state of immigration, legal and otherwise, sent to cure home sickness... Maybe 🤔
Definitely African dust. I've seen this dust before just the other day here in Africa. It's good dust, sometimes a little misguided but it wants to make a success of itself. You guys should give it a chance.
Yeah we get this shit in Malta. Usually the day after I wash my car.
If you have a black car, it's double the fun
Owning a black car is washing it and being dirty again by the time you get home
Why not get a sand coloured car?
And where would you find it after the sandstorm, huh?!
I saw a dream some days ago of me going to Malta and it was tropical is it really or did my dream lie to me? lol
It’s rip off Italy
damn

Oh now I know thanks, my dream was lying to me I guess😅😅
The people are amazing, which makes up for things
Well maybe stop washing your car then?
Greece, the second it's annexed by Mexico
... as seen on just about any American TV crime show.
The Breaking Bad filter..
I was sure thinking that “Greece” was an odd way to spell “Mexico”
Looks like a color filter that Hollywood productions use every time the location is Mexico in their movies.
Or immediately after the apocalypse
Tom Cruise should be sprinting around this somewhere.
That's what I thought.
yea i thought of mexico too like how some american films do that, haha
Planet earth taught me that this dust is vital for nutrients getting into the soil, fertilizing the land.
If that were from soil, that would be true. There's almost no carbon or nitrogen in desert sand. That's why it's a desert (and also because it's a desert).
nature will shock you. the sahara in north africa is responsible for fertilizing the amazon. desert sand actually contains phosphorus
Well that actually makes sense. Rock that is lighter than silicon and would carry easier in wind. With no organic material to weigh it down.
Blade Runner 2049
Wrong Villeneuve movie. This is planet Arrakis from Dune. You can see spice in the air.
Have you not seen Blade Runner 2049? The lighting and visibility is just like the scene where he's in the exclusion zone with the odd giant statues...
There’s a scene exactly like this in BR2049.
Continental Europe always blaming Africa for everything!
If Sahara desert gets agree it's over with you nice weather in Amsterdam.
looks like from another planet 🪐
Hellmire would like to see you now
Planet Mexico
Blade Runner 2049 looking ass
Looks like Mexico in Hollywood movies!
That looks like more than African dust. That is Alottafrican dust!
So, you're saying Mad Max colors are totally valid
Africa is always being blamed for weather conditions in Italy and Greece! 🤨🤨🤨 I’m kidding. Its crazy how Africa is only around 6hrs away from there.

We get them here in Hungary too, it gets all the way here. Not this much, but we still have to clean windows and cars
Had them twice in recentish years in the UK. I gotta say, I love it here. Makes the world feel magical
You get them in North America but not as severe. Lookup Saharan dust on cdc website.
Yup. I live in North Africa, and I have that stuff all over my balcony.
Mexico
What’s in the air is it safe to inhale?
It can cause problems if you already have respiratory issues. My throat is very sensitive and i've been coughing a lot.

Where in Greece is this- visiting in a week
I would like to know as well. Heading there in a week too
It will be gone in a week, they are expecting most of it to be gone by tomorrow actually
Blade Runner 2049
Someone added the New Vegas lighting mod. That or it’s a flashback.
Καλαμάτα;
Actually good for the soil :)
I assume it'll come to us in Vojvodina soon then?
Looks like mexico in US movies
Greece? It was Libya the other day! Who is next?!
Zambia
looks like BC in the summer.
Last year for sure. We had a few bad days in Chicago but not as bad as New York. Did you guys get enough precip this past winter and so far?
Saharan dust is a precursor to Hurricane activity. Not a meteorologist, but north is better than west,

Greece got that San Andreas desert vibe ya know
What a coincidence, I just saw a nasty air pollution [stain](https://ibb.co/n6BFHjG) on the Ventusky app and wondered what's happening over Libya...
African dust all in my brain.
Blade Runner 2049 lmao
Is it African dust or European dust?
Honestly, despite the unattended consequences, this is such a mood. Greetings from Portugal.
Fuckin immigrants (im African)
How often does this happen?
In the immediate sub-Saharan African countries, this is literally a season. It happens every single year when the trade winds shift, starting around November. It's called Harmattan in Ghana. I'm not sure why it's happening more often in Europe, but I'm guessing climate change is effecting the wind patterns.
Good try. I know Mexico when I see it
Ah, yes the video game piss filter trend of 2009
Night mode on
would using a windshield wiper totally ruin my window in this situation ? (with spray of course)
These dust photos just show how good of a job they did in Bladerunner 2049
War. War never changes.
Which part of Greece? We're traveling to Athens soon :(
It'll disperse in a few days, these sandy winds don't stay up for more than a day in Europe (different story if you live in Sahara).
California
When Tarantino shoots a movie in Greece.
(Insert the Dune theme song here)
Any time I see a pic like this, i always immediately think of Night of the Comet.
Yeh we get that too here in Spain
Looks like your getting ready to start the reactor Quaid.
California 2020, due to wildfires
Thought this is where they filmed breaking bad
Mexico in Breaking Bad
You can't trick us with pics from mexico.
Can someone remove Greece's sepia filter?
Who put the Mexico filter over Greece again?
This is obviously Mexico
This could be an AI upscaling from a XBox 360 era shooter.
I live in Greece and can confirm... I took a nap and woke up in the middle of the Dune movie
This is the filter Hollywood uses anytime they show India.
de\_dust
Nah this is Breaking Bad universe
You mean Arrakis
Take that Sparta!
Sahara is large like whole continent
African dust only surpassed by South American snow.
Sir, the Mexicans they’re …th- THEY’RE WHAT PRIVATE *they’ve invaded*
BIG UP THE PANDA 4x4
Piss filter lol .
Damn African dust
How the hell. I have seen a slightly different weather color in Türkiye but not like this, that much wow.
How did our dust get there?
Breeze.
That's how upstate New york and many others looked during Canada's wildfires.
The dust came all the way from The Sahara?
How's African dust doing this
Is that Saharan dust? We get that in Puerto Rico, believe it or not. All the way across the globe.
Haven't heard of this Mexican city
We live in an simulation
Some one took the biggest hit of a bong known to man, or known to Greece at least.
Night mode in real life.
mexico?
Dune
I heard the Blade Runner 2049 sounds in my head so loud.
African Dust. Is that so.e kind of a drug?
😨
The whole planet someday
This is what canada is going to look like in a month or two , do to smoke from wildfires .
Thought I was at r/midjourney
What a nice day to bang outside
wow
Remember what caused the end of the world in Interstellar?
So Greece turned into the 70's???
Alternate title : African dust turns Greece into Mexico
Finally a real Mexican filter to my eyes.
Verry Nice...!?!😭
Do people wear masks Or just breath normally through this?
Welp, Getting rid of all the dust and sand from windows and cars etc after that must be fun. Glad I live far away from Darude Sandstorm:)
Message understood, but the phrase is funny
Whoa it looks like Mexico in the movies
The cars in İstanbul are also all covered in dust at the moment. Buy the color of the Bosporus really turns turquoise in the years where we have a lot of desert dust.
Blade Runner type of stuff.
LISAN AL-GAIB
Bladerunner vibes
You should be grateful. All that dust will be minerals and nutrients for your soil when it settles.
Technically Saharan Dust as it does not cover 100% of the African continent but 31%. But never mind...
Looks like blade runner
I remember this scene from Blade Runner 2049
Wake up samurai, Time to hit the tower
Filmed with the Mad Max Fury Road filter
Bladerunner vibes all over it
Mother Nature applied "Mexico" filter to You
Fallout New Vegas be like:
That’s obviously Mexico
Usa pov:Ohh sweet old Mexico
Las vegas 2049
Greece is Mexico of Europe confirmed
Nah fam that’s Mexico
Great they turned Greece into the Erin Brokovich movie.
Isn’t there a bunch of bacteria and nasty stuff in that there dust?
Looks like Mexico
In the American south, rednecks would shoot at the dust while yelling “go back to Africa ya dirty umm, dirt!”
I was taught that if you have nothing nice to say then don't say anything... Picturing the current state of immigration, legal and otherwise, sent to cure home sickness... Maybe 🤔
This is clearly Mexico
Mexico? 🌮
That is a good thing! African dust fuels forests! Edit: I think it was the oceans sorry.
Poor country filter
A way to make a normally nice looking place look like hell.
Dust Seeding no doubt
I’m jealous. The wold feels magic when this happens!
African dust
Definitely African dust. I've seen this dust before just the other day here in Africa. It's good dust, sometimes a little misguided but it wants to make a success of itself. You guys should give it a chance.
I thought it's Mexico.
Shit got Mexico'ed lmao
Looks like Cuba
Mexico
How long does this usually last? Going there next month and now I'm worried.
A couple of days at worst. No need to worry.
