Sahara Dust Arrives in Venezuela: Mild to Moderate Concentrations Expected Until Tuesday #14Apr
The National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology (INAMEH) reported this Saturday, April 11, that mild to moderate concentrations of Saharan dust have been detected over Venezuelan territory and the Caribbean region. According to the official report from 'Risk Management in Action,' it is estimated that this meteorological phenomenon will remain present in the national atmosphere at least until next Tuesday, April 14. The presence of these sand particles from the African desert will generate direct effects on local weather: 1. Reduction of cloudiness: The dust acts as a layer that limits cloud development, which could translate into clearer days but with a hazy appearance. 2. Horizontal visibility: A significant reduction in visibility is expected, so caution is recommended in air and land navigation activities. The National Risk Management System maintains permanent monitoring of the evolution of this dust cloud. Authorities urge the population, especially those with sensitive respiratory conditions, to take the necessary preventive measures due to the presence of this particulate material.
