Cyprus Road Trip (2026/01/28) | E901 (Tseriou Rd) to Alampra | Sahara Dust Episode (2026)

This road trip starts on Tseriou Road / E901 - yes, the one that feels like it’s been under construction since ancient times - before joining the A1 road and eventually ending on Archiepiskopou Makariou III Street in Alampra. It was a Wednesday morning (10 am), with the sun working overtime. No clouds, strong light, and visibility dropping in the distance as Sahara dust levels reached record highs across Cyprus. The air felt heavy, the horizon looked hazy. This marks the first major Sahara dust episode of 2026, with atmospheric sensors recording exceptionally high concentrations that significantly affected air quality and visibility across the island. The episode was driven by a weather system that also brought rainfall to parts of Cyprus, raising hopes for wet deposition - when rain helps pull the dust down and clears the air faster (nature’s own cleaning service). Interestingly, as the drive moves closer to Alampra village, the scenery begins to change. The sky turns noticeably bluer, the air feels fresher, and it’s one of those moments where you can almost feel the atmosphere improving as you go. A simple drive, unusual conditions, and a reminder of how quickly the landscape - and the air around us - can change.
