It seems that with unusually warm temperature came unusually bad air. Any ideas why?

Happy Easter everyone, btw!

This is caused by sand from the Sahara desert. German https://www.br.de/nachrichten/deutschland-welt/sahara-staub-sorgt-fuer-extrem-hohe-feinstaubbelastung,U8b4e5Q

Which website is this?

[–] elmicha@feddit.de 0 points 5 months ago

I don't know which site or app OP used, but Google Maps also has a LQI layer.

Had to look it up, apparently a massive dust storm blew up from the Sahara.

Thank you! At least I don’t see orange skies yet

It seems to be greyish–white dust, not red. I was puzzled at first, as well, but there seems to be more in the Sahara than red sand.
