The French skies have recently turned orange due to a sand storm that occurred in the Sahara Desert, Africa.
The Sun newspaper reported yesterday that the French airspace was illuminated by clumps of orange sand, believed to have spread thousands of kilometers from Africa to the European continent.
The orange sandblasts also contained thick dust from the Sahara that filled the French country.
The meteorological phenomenon is linked to a powerful southerly flow that brings spring temperatures.
The National Meteorological and Climate Service for France tweeted a satellite picture showing the sand from the Sahara.
“Seen from space: A low-pressure system on the Iberian Peninsula organizes a powerful southerly flow which brings up sand from the #Sahara as far as France,” wrote the National Meteorological and Climate Service for France.
“Saharan lifts appear in yellowish on satellite image between the Balearic Islands and Sardinia,” it added.
In addition to France, the orange dust also crosses resorts in the Alps and makes the color of snow look like gold.
