High concentrations of dust will be observed in the atmosphere as of Wednesday, the TRNC Meteorology Department has announced.

The phenomenon will continue for the next three days.

The latest bout of dust in the atmosphere blowing in from North Africa is due to dissipate on Saturday after expected light rainfall, the met office said on Wednesday.

The public, especially those belonging to vulnerable groups, should avoid going outdoors since the small particles are likely to have a negative impact on human health, the announcement added.
