Met office cautions public over increased dust levels

High concentrations of dust will be observed in the atmosphere as of Wednesday, the TRNC Meteorology Department has announced.

The phenomenon will continue for the next three days.

The latest bout of dust in the atmosphere blowing in from North Africa is due to dissipate on Saturday after expected light rainfall, the met office said on Wednesday.

The public, especially those belonging to vulnerable groups, should avoid going outdoors since the small particles are likely to have a negative impact on human health, the announcement added.

Meanwhile, the weather will be mostly sunny on Wednesday, with possible isolated showers inland and the mountains.

The winds will be variable, westerly to north-westerly, moderate to strong, force 3 to 4, and at times very strong, force 5 Beaufort.

The sea will be smooth to slight.

The temperature will rise to 22 C inland, 20 C to 21 C in coastal areas and 13 C in the mountains.
