The sky in Spain turned bright orange during Storm Celia, which brought dust from the Sahara Desert in March 2022. This enormous amount of dust came from North Africa and even reached parts of Northern Europe. The dust traveled 2,500 kilometers from Morocco and Algeria. It was said that sports should not be played outside during a strong storm. The storm was powerful and brought rain to Europe, which appeared orange due to the dust. Slopes and streets in France also turned orange, and people in Switzerland and Germany saw the orange sky as well. Scientists reported that the dust reached the UK as well. People had to wear masks and found it difficult to breathe.
