Mainly on the roof, windows and windscreen, there is an easy explanation thankfully.
A combination of south eastern winds and a rare 'Saharan' weather event has caused dust particles from the desert to sweep north across Europe.

And while the dust is set to leave the island in the next few days, the temperatures will stay.
Sunny weather will stick around to at least the weekend after a dominant system from the Atlantic means that high pressure reigns.
