The city of Athens turned orange as winds from North Africa brought sand to the Greek capital. On Tuesday, skies over southern Greece turned orange as dust clouds swept across the Mediterranean Sea, covering landmarks like the Acropolis. These strong winds carried dust from the Sahara Desert, giving Athens an otherworldly, Martian-like appearance during the sunset. The city was covered in an orange haze. Similar clouds hit Greece in late March and early April. Due to this, the air quality has worsened in many places, with the Acropolis becoming invisible on Wednesday morning due to the dust. The cloud has even reached as far north as Thessaloniki. People with respiratory conditions are advised to stay indoors, wear masks, and avoid outdoor activities until the dust clears. Dubai Sky Turns Green: Amid Approaching Storm, the Sky in UAE City Turns Hazy Green (Watch Videos).
