Cars covered in thick film of grey dust thanks to odd weather

Cars across the UK have been left coated in a thick film of grime thanks to unusual weather conditions.

People have been taking to social media across the country sharing pictures of their cars and vans after returning to them to find they were not as clean as before.

The grey/brown film has been caused by dust from the Sahara being carried 2,000 miles north on winds caused by high pressure over Scandinavia.

The dust has then fallen across the UK, leaving cars coated in dirt.

The Met Office reported it would take 36 hours to pass over the UK.

One resident said: "All the cars in the car park had a light dusting on them, I thought it was strange. And then when I went to the west end to pick up my son from school I noticed all the cars in the area were also covered."
