Smoke from Canada colored the sky over Baden-Württemberg milky gray

In Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria, a milky sky causes confusion. Despite the summer temperatures, the view into the distance is often cloudy. But what is really behind it? According to [ka-news.de] (https://www.ka-news.de/region/karlsruhe/milchiger-himmel-ueber-baden-wuerttemberg-das-stleckt-dahinter-Art-Art-ART-ART-ART-ART-ART-ART-ART-ART -ART -ART -ART -AR-ART -ART -AR-ART -ART -ArM in Canada, not the often feared Sahara dust. And in fact the smoke from the burning forests in Saskatchewan and Manitoba crossed the Atlantic and is now noticeable through Central Europe.

The German Weather Service (DWD) informs that this smoke forms large clouds that are several hundred kilometers tall. Such a cloud of smoke has been hovers over Germany since Whit Monday and has led to a visual cloudiness. It is impressive that the forest fires release such enormous quantities of soot particles, which finally get to us with the western weather conditions. This not only leads to a dense sky, but also to ensure that moisture is reflected at these soot particles at high altitudes and thin cirrus clouds arise.

cloudy but attractive

The clouding of the atmosphere unfortunately ensures that the visibility is reduced. Nevertheless, observers took the chance to enjoy colorful sunrise and lower ends, which are caused by the light scattering of the smoke. This aesthetic component makes the view a bit adorable despite the weather, so also reports 20min.ch.

The meteorologists from Meteoschweiz confirm that the increased visual complaint by the Canadian smoke can also be felt in our neighboring country. A slight visual clouding was found in particular on the GemStock and the smoking particles are mainly in higher air layers. This hardly affects the air quality on the ground, but the sky can appear overwhelming on some days.

look into the future

Furthermore, the DWD reports that this cloudy sky should stop until Friday, June 13th. In the following, warm air flow from the southern Atlantic is expected, which could finally ensure some clarity in the sky. But be careful: Saara dust is also expected again, which can also provide this point of view with his fine dust. These phenomena could occur more often due to climate change and become normal in the coming years.

The combination of Canadian smoke and possibly Sahara dust could continue to be an eye -catcher in the sky, even if it clouds the view. So far, forest fires have been a rarity as the cause of such atmospheric phenomena, but the current situation shows how quickly things can change. A look at the satellite measurements and the observable changes makes it clear that together with nature we are heading for an exciting, albeit barren time.
