Tom - you asked where had i been driving as the car was filthy in dust / rainmarks : WELL here is why !! As if i would allow my car to be FILTHY ! Many people across parts of the UK have noticed a layer of light dust on their cars or other surfaces over the past couple of days, but how did it get here? A big dust storm in the Sahara, around 2,000 miles away, is to blame. Late last week the storm swept up a large amount of sand and dust from the western Sahara up into the atmosphere. It then spread westwards out over the Atlantic before getting caught up in southerly winds, dragging it north over Spain before it arrived over the UK mixed up in the warm and humid air which has brought thunder storms and heavy rain to the country. The dust can get caught up in the rain droplets in clouds, which then fall to the ground. When the water evaporates, a thin layer of dust is left on surfaces, like cars.
