Sepia Skies Over Marbella Today, But With Less African Dust Than in 2022
Today, the skies over Marbella are sepia-colored, but with less African dust than in 2022. Exactly two years after a similar episode, the sky of Marbella has once again turned sepia this Thursday due to the haze, although this time the suspended Saharan dust has been much less than in March 2022. This is a result of the formation of a DANA that has also generated strong waves on the Malaga coast.
The Haze Has Been a Highlight Over Marbella’s Sky for a Few Days
The haze had been a highlight for a few days over the sky of Marbella, but it was this Thursday when it intensified, covering the municipality with an orange beret. Interestingly, exactly two years ago, in March 2022, a similar phenomenon occurred, although it was much more intense on that occasion.
Lower Levels of Suspended African Dust This Time
This time, the levels of suspended African dust have been lower, but it has left very cloudy skies and a day with less light. As of the time of writing this information, there had been no precipitation, something that did occur in the form of mud two years ago.
Formation of a DANA Over the Peninsula Responsible for the Haze
The formation of a DANA over the Peninsula, which today has moved south, has been responsible for the haze, with no storms in Marbella. The south-southeast winds favor the clouds of Saharan dust, which can last several days over the municipality.
Yellow Alert Activated by AEMET for Coastal Phenomena on the Malaga Coast
The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) has activated the yellow alert for coastal phenomena on the Malaga coast due to waves of up to 3 meters from the eastern swell. This weather warning will remain, according to the forecast, during Friday and Saturday, at least.
