Saharan Dust from Perturbation Regina Overwhelms Andorra's Skies
Saharan dust intrusion worsens air quality in Andorra, causing hazy skies and potential muddy rain through the week amid perturbation Regina.
Key Points
- Saharan dust concentrations building since yesterday, skies overcast with worsening air quality.
- Weak showers today may produce muddy rain; dust peaks Tuesday.
- Precipitation from mid-week mixes with dust for dirty rain toward weekend.
- Temperatures rising due to southerly airflow under Regina's influence.
Andorra's meteorological service has reported that perturbation Regina is bringing Saharan dust into the country, with concentrations building since yesterday and skies already overcast. Particle levels worsened today amid poorer air quality, and weak showers carrying dust could produce muddy rain this afternoon.
The system will dominate the weather through the week, intensifying dust presence on Tuesday before shifting to instability later. Precipitation is now expected from the second half of the week onward, likely mixing with accumulated airborne particles to create dirty rain, especially toward the weekend.
A midday update noted mostly cloudy conditions persisting today, with hazy air from the Saharan intrusion. Temperatures are rising slightly due to a marked southerly airflow bringing warmer conditions.
Earlier forecasts aligned on the dust arriving yesterday afternoon, peaking tomorrow, and blending with broader instability under Regina's influence. The service is tracking the pattern as it fully shapes the outlook.
