Saharan Dust Brings 'Mud Rain' to Crete

vendredi 17 avril 2026/SourceGoogle News/1 min de lecture
Crete is experiencing a return of "mud rain," a phenomenon caused by Saharan dust mixing with rainfall that leaves a reddish-brown residue on surfaces. The episode is affecting the island with overcast skies and dusty precipitation. Conditions are expected to be unsettled for the short term before gradually improving. Tourists should be aware that outdoor furniture, vehicles, and laundry left outside may be stained by the dusty deposits. If visiting archaeological sites or hiking, carry a light rain layer and expect reduced visibility. Wash any exposed skin and rinse eyes if caught outside during heavy dusty rainfall. Check local forecasts daily, as Cretan spring weather can shift quickly, and plan outdoor excursions for the clearer afternoons once conditions begin to improve.
