The Sahara sand storm that has blocked out the sun in Dubrovnik today has also affected other parts of the region. The beautiful island of Korcula was also “under siege” from the thick orange fog.

Our friends at Korcula Explorer sent us this amazing photo of the sand storm descending down over the island. The before and after view is unrecognisable as the sand blocked out the entire mountain view.

Thankfully the African sand cloud seems to have passed Dubrovnik and now the strong southerly winds have brought rain which is slowly washing away the after-effects of the sand storm.
