A dusty fog will be observed in Baku on March 14- 15.

Matanat Avazova, Deputy Director of the National Monitoring Department on Environment of the Ecology and Natural Resources Ministry told APA that the dusty fog comes from Turkmenistan.

“Dust clouds observed over Turkmenistan will move towards Azerbaijan due to the meteorological conditions,” she said on March 14.

The dust clouds are already over the Caspian Sea, she stressed.
“In the second half of the day, air flows will bring dusty clouds to the country’s territory,” she added.

Avazova said that the thickness of dust layer over the Absheron peninsula and Baku is above norm.

“This is not a critical situation. But, those who have cardiovascular diseases will have better stay home,” she said.
