The dust has trekked as far poleward as Scandinavia, and could be swept back toward Greenland in the next 72 hours.
NASA model simulating concentration of dust in the atmosphere. By Matthew Cappucci April 23 at 2:37 PM Some people in Europe parked their vehicles outside overnight, hoping a cleansing downpour would save them a trip to the carwash. But the rains had the opposite effect. The reason? Dust from the Sahara Desert.
In the meantime, concentrations are impressive. If you took a one-yard-by-one-yard column of dust out of the lower atmosphere over France on Tuesday afternoon, it would contain nearly 3,000 milligrams of dust. That’s the weight of more than a penny. There's a lot of Saharan dust over the UK at the moment blown up on long fetch Southerly winds so don't be too surprised to see a coating of dust on your car.
The areas with the greatest amount of dust up high aren’t the same spots seeing the heftiest concentrations near the ground. Italy is in the crosshairs of the dust plume. Nearly 200 micrograms per cubic meter are present at the surface — equal to the weight of a fruit fly in every cubic meter. Imagine 200 fruit flies buzzing around inside a subway car — that’s the density of dust. It’s roughly half the mass density of last week’s pollen peak in Washington.
