Apparently the ash is still hovering over the western part of the continent. A lot of flights out of London are still suspended until Monday but it's not gonna last the entire summer. As per usual, health officials have gone haywire worried about ash settling and being inhaled causing asthma and lung diseases etc. To be honest, according to satallite pictures, I'm directly underneath where the ash cloud is in the atmosphere and we've had nothing but sunshine for the past 2 weeks. Which makes a nice change!
I'm glad you mentioned that there isn't much of a visual sign of any ash. When I first read the report, I immediately thought of massive, impenetrable clouds of dust blotting out the sun, or at least what happened to a few cities in America after the Mt. St. Helens eruption in 1980. Thank God that wasn't the case!
