Can you see the ash from the volcano from where you live? In Prague you can’t really see it that well. I was looking at the horizon, and you sort of see the gradient going from blue to light brown. Also, if you look up you can see some barely distinguishable patches of brown clouds, but it could be just my imagination. I’ll have to go into a park today and watch the sky more closely. All the flights are cancelled/delayed here.
Second question: are you immediately affected by any of this? Me, not really, I wasn’t planning to fly anywhere and not waiting for anyone, I don’t work for any airline companies, so no worries there. But I know some people feel more disrupted than this.
Iceland.
The volcanic ash that’s been released has blown over much of Europe and as a result many countries have had to close airports and halt all incoming and outgoing flights.
A friend of mine was stuck in prague so hired a car to drive to france, to get the eurostar back to london. Theres no sign of the ash when i look up all we see is grey clouds, maybe thats just crappy english weather
From Australia you can’t see anything at all. But half of my grade are stuck in London for another week or so. They went on the annual Europe Tour and were due back yesterday before school went back! Lucky them, stuck in london, while I’m studying! D8
Clear blue sky in Manchester UK this morning Ivan. No visible ash in the sky, same as the other days this week. A very light dusty look on dark cars.
Its all very trivial apart from the flight disruption. My house is under the usual Manchester landing flight path. Not seen an aeroplane for days…usually one would be landing every five minutes or so.
Last volcano I was anywhere near during eruption was Pinatubo. I was 70 miles away, but the house roof had over an inch of grey dust on it then. Houses close to that eruption were completely buried.
My house is dusty because I am a lazy single bloke who spends more time unicycling, dancing and playing music than cleaning. It was one of my aridly dry quips.
Nothing visible here (south-west England) - in fact it’s as clear as it ever gets at the moment. I was just thinking yesterday that it’s weird that all airspace is closed - when I read the news of the eruption I was expecting a sort of “dinosaur extinction” dark sky for a few days.
