Anyone get the Sahara dust dumping?

Post by cordyman »

I thought it was rather hazy yesterday evening after i'd washed the car, looked like a fog almost in the hills.

This morning the car was covered in sandy dirt, rained lightly in the afternoon and even more :lol:

Car was covered in dust this morning in Edinburgh. We havent seen the sky for 3 days now because of fog or is it a duststorm?

Glad I didn't wash cars at the weekend now, but have had to clean all the glass today as couldn't see out :roll:

Happens occasionally here with southerly winds.

For those on facebook this is what I said at lunchtime :wink:

Cars were covered In it here. At least it washed of easily, unlike my brothers car in Crete which gets covered in what they used to call Gaddafi Rain as it came up from the Sahara via Libya and stuck like mud. Guess they call it something else now.

My car was covered this morning. It was a very stuffy day, felt like there was a storm brewing this afternoon.

Not readily apparent on my car this morning until I got close too. The silver colour of the vehicle has the commercial name 'Moondust' which may explain why I couldn't see it. On the other hand my wife's car was green.............
