I haven't even noticed this and consider I'm quite Southern Britain Anyone seen any trace or is it another Daily Mail scraping the bottom story ? Originally Posted by: DeeDee

I tell ya...I was not impressed at the state of my car after overnight rain !!!
Same here but as Andy said its not that uncommon and I'm hardly digging myself out
Dusty car this morning here, and dusty again by the evening! All I need now is a camel...
You can tell how poor this winter has been in terms of proper cold weather when we got to have more dust falls than snow falls.
Disgusting stuff! The car is a mess, so is the conservatory. Will have to wash everything down at the weekend.

Featured by Tomasz Schafernacker on 1035pm BBC1 weather, but he merely said you'd need to wash your car.
Yeah, exactly - got loads of it.
Noticed a covering here. All got washed away last night. Won't have to wash the car now!
Noticed alot on my garden table on Sunday evening but none since(before I heard about it in the media). Apparently, it needs to come down in fairly light rain. If the rain is heavy, it simply washes off surfaces.

The garden chairs actually had 'puddles' of dirt where some light rain managed to bring yet more dust and concentrate it in the middle.
A bugger to scrape off
Air polution, including Saharan sand/dust is set to spread further over the next few days.

The Atlantic does have its uses despite getting some stick over the past few months.
