The wind carried an unusually large amount of sand dust from the Sahara to Switzerland, the Swiss portal 24heures reported on Saturday.
In total, according to experts, we are talking about 180 thousand tons of fine particles of sand dust from North Africa.
The Le Figaro newspaper, in turn, reported that a similar problem was encountered on Saturday in southeastern France.
Swiss media note that in most cases this phenomenon does not have a significant impact on people's health. Sand particles in the air can turn the landscape yellowish and cause clouds to form.
Swiss weather service MeteoSuisse explained on Network X that the country was experiencing a "significant deterioration in visibility and solar illumination."
