Over the Czech Republic, especially over its western part, the wind again carries sand dust from the Sahara, UNN reports with reference to Radio Prague.

According to media reports, dust particles are moving higher in the atmosphere than last time, when a smog situation was declared in most of the Czech Republic due to the high concentration of dust particles.
