    The island of Crete on March 22nd after it was covered in orange Saharan dust.
    Sahara dust turns the Island of Crete orange - 22 Mar 2018
    Tourists and locals in Crete woke to a surreal scene yesterday morning (Thurs) with the Greek holiday island covered in a plume of ORANGE Saharan dust.
    Images show the island in a yellowish hue after southerly winds transferred the dust from the Sahara Desert in Africa.
    The veil of dust meant the island was surrounded by hazy orange skies for the day, making the location look like somewhere from another world.
    The mass of dusty and very dry air forms over the Sahara Desert from late spring into early fall and is known as the Saharan air layer.
    Plumes of dust typically move off the African coast every three to five days during this time.
