Just had a look at the Air pollution map for Cyprus, where one can see that at the moment Paphos (Kouklia) is the highest level in Cyprus and dangerous high (hazardous). Even with my multi-stage air filtration system running, I don't feel comfortable...

Lord, that sounds bad. Hope you are all ok, particularly Hudswell having to wear a mask :shock:

I took this in Polis earlier today. Normally you would see the Akamas there.

Take care all of you in Cyprus. It looks horrendous. If I were there now I would be confined indoors as my breathing is not what it was.

Meantime may I take this opportunity to wish one and all a VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A HEALTHY, PEACEFUL AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR

From me on the |High Seas with blue cloudless sky and a calm sea.

Proper respiratory masks should really be worn by everyone during these freak dust pollution conditions that are prevailing...

When I looked yesterday Limassol had it worst, at 450.

I will add that link to the top tips section Max. Very useful.
