“Since the wind now carries air from that region, that is, from the southeast, the dust raised in the Caspian in the form of its smallest parts is carried to Ukraine in the upper layers of the atmosphere. The local dryness of the earth’s surface worsens the situation, adding to the pollination local dust and particles of soil lifted by the wind,” the report says.
According to the hydrometeorological center, this fine dust settles in Ukraine in Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, Sumy, Kharkiv, Zaporizhia, Donetsk, Luhansk regions, a small amount also falls on the territory of Cherkasy and Kirovohrad regions.
It is also predicted that dust will reach Kyiv region on October 1 and 2, but its amount will be less. However, for Kyiv Oblast, Chernihiv Oblast, and Sumy Oblast, air quality may also deteriorate due to the movement of carbon monoxide with smog.
Forecasters expect that the dust situation will last until Friday, when the direction of the wind in Ukraine will change to the south and west. Dust will reach Ukraine in waves, that is, improvements will alternate with deterioration of visibility and air quality.
