Saharan Dust Is in the Clouds Surrounding the Prisojnik Massif (2547m a.s.l.), Close Up Towards Mali Prisojnik Pre-Peak (2223m a.s.l.) from the Upper Pišnica Valley; Eastern Julian Alps, Zgornjesavska, Slovenija

04-April-2022: after a month and a half, the African Anticyclone moves away and this opens the way to a strong and humid southern current in the upper part of which Sahara dust, originally raised by sandstorms, is suspended.

 

The African anticyclone has been creating many "problems" since it became the absolute protagonist of the new millenium Europe meteorological patterns, but also more than an opportunity for occasional shots in original colors.

 

The aforementioned air mass, originally very dry, has crossed the entire Central Mediterranean loading itself with humidity, and has reported (albeit in a very irregular way) the rains and snowfalls that have allowed to end the acute phase of the drought referred to in the previous photos.

 

Desert sand, in this case, is welcome!
