Сезон пыли, месяц за месяцем по всему миру
Весенняя пыль и песчаные бури; при чувствительных лёгких лучше остаться дома.
Это предупреждение, а не рекомендация. Сезон пыли охватывает в SeasonMap 66 направлений; месяцы ниже — те, в которые окно риска открыто. Большинство недель проходит спокойно, а оценка рядом с каждым местом — всё та же обычная климатическая оценка, вместе с риском.
