Skies have been more than overcast. There seems to be a thickness to the air, so belatedly check with Plume labs site, which provides a pollution index for most of the world. And indeed the pollution is extreme, confirmed by online version of Cyprus Mail; surprisingly, higher than New Delhi. Warnings re outdoor activity, heart and lung patients, etc. Most of the pollution is particulate matter, in our case chiefly dust, which is a periodic problem and usually results from winds blowing our way from the Sahara. Usually the dust gives the air a reddish cast, but this is just grey and gloomy.
