Southern Greece has been engulfed in an orange haze due to clouds of dust blowing in from the Sahara desert. This is one of the worst episodes of its kind to hit Greece since 2018. Similar clouds had already hit Greece, Switzerland and Southern France in late March and early April. The weather service in Greece has predicted that the skies will clear on Wednesday.
