On World Meteorological Day I captured these images of the spectacular sunrise with calima on the beach of Gavà, in the Baix Llobregat, for the Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia.
We are already waiting for the weather during Holy Week, whether there will finally be a considerable drop in temperatures or whether the sun will shine starting on Holy Thursday. Be that as it may, it seems that there is optimism both in the mountain tourist destinations and in those on the Catalan coast.
While waiting for the vacation days, the beach gives its sunrises, in this case, marked again by haze, a meteorological phenomenon that consists of the presence in the atmosphere of small particles of dust, ash, clay or sand in suspension .
The immediate effect produced by the haze, always depending on its density, produces a decrease in visibility as well as slight discomfort in the eyes, nose and throat.
There are two different types of haze. The first, known as type A, occurs when the suspended particles are dust, salts such as sodium or elements from the environment. Type B is produced by special events, such as forest fires or other polluting events.
The disappearance of the haze is conditioned by changes in atmospheric pressure, which can give rise to wind or rain.
