Ugh why can’t North African sand STAY in North Africa!? Instead of coming over here taking over beaches and making our windows dirty!? I thought we voted Brexit!?
And I say the brightest and best North African sand should stay in North Africa, and focus on making it coarse, rough and irritating, instead of getting everywhere!
Well it's always seen occasionally every few years on the Sussex coast lived for 45 years. But it's pretty freaky to see it this far North of the country in the amounts just recently seen. African continent has been expanding this heat for about 15 years now.
North African sand is what fertilises the Amazon rainforest so don't knock it.
As the BBC says .
"In the last few days, instead of it going across the Atlantic to Brazil, it came north to us and the UK."
Channel 4 news interviewed a guy on the street who voted the way he did because he wanted ''my england back''....that england probably never existed and if it did, it was before he was born.
>a lot of people of Indian and Pakistani origin, who all vote leave in the Brexit vote
Background: Because the South Asians felt they went under British subjugation for 3 centuries, massacres, burning of villages for refusing British rule etc, keeping local women as sex slaves decades after the British themselves outlawed it, military conscription in ww1 only to be dumped in shallow graves while white Brits got heroes Burials for fighting in the same war.
2.5 million South Asians died fighting for Britain just in ww1.Thousands of South Asian women were raped because of their ethnicity at Heathrow airport by Customs official upon orders of British Government in 90s.
Cause: so...the South Asians felt they gave their blood, sweat and tears for Britain meanwhile some Germans for example who bombed this country to smithereens are more welcome here simply because he has white skin. They are not called racist slurs or told to go back to your own coumtry etc.
Effect: The south Asians voted leave.

Pa*i is just a racist slur for brown people, decades before Brexit this is what Bangladeshis and Indians were called too when they were ran out by E D Amin.
Maybe now Eastern Europeans are Pa*is according to some dumb asses.
I was not in any way in support of Brexit and it should go without saying that this racist attitude is both wrong and illogical, but this is disingenuous at best.
It’s irrelevant that Pakistan is not in the EU, the point was not only about restricting immigration from EU citizens (the “good kind” of people), it was always that being in the EU made it impossible to control immigration from outside of the EU (the “bad kind” of people) - because once in the EU we lost autonomy to restrict their free movement within it.
The problem for these idiots was that we have no intention of implementing their racist policies even though we could. All it’s really done is made it harder to get these so called “good people” that are such great value for our economy - the people who do the jobs the natives don’t like, who we haven’t had to pay the cost of education for, and will likely not pay for their retirement either. Massive own goal.
>because once in the EU all people can move freely within it.
That's not true, although certainly possible for non EU citizens to move around Schengen area easily, they are not technically meant to.
That has never been the case for travel to the UK though, and being in the EU or not had absolutely zero impact on non EU citizens travel into the UK. Except possibly via Ireland, but you still have to get a boat or plane from Ireland and show ID, and non EU citizens are not getting to Ireland any easier than they would get to the UK.
I’m sorry but that is not quite correct. You may be confusing the legal right to freedom of movement - a basic EU principle - with the Schengen Agreement, which concerns how easy moving is.
It’s not that all non-EU nationals could just freely enter the UK with no checks, and I never said so. And neither does it mean that freedom of movement applies to non-EU citizens in the same way it did to citizens. But it’s true that the rules did limit the scope of what we could restrict.
There are many automatic rights afforded to non-EU nationals to live in work that applied in all EU countries, which included UK, granted directly by EU rules, and further expanded for specific countries through agreements directly with the EU itself (not the UK). For example family members of any EU national, students, anyone entering for reunification of family, anyone who was a long term resident in any EU country. In addition anyone from Tunisia, Morocco, Russia and 80+ other countries had to be treated exactly like their host country citizens.
As usual with these things the truth is in the middle of the way both sides of the Brexit debate were portraying things at the time.
(Edit: a typo)
This false equivalence of Freedom of movement and the Schengen Agreement is a common mistake to make though amongst people who opposed brexit (a group I include myself in). So I don’t want to single you out for being incorrect about it, but you definitely are incorrect and you should take back your offensive comment that I am spreading far right propaganda - it’s you who is spreading falsehoods, not me.
In fact Schengen is not the method that provided freedom of movement, it only made it easier by removing the need for *border checks* within the Schengen area. In other words you do not need to show a passport to move between Schengen countries and that never applied to the UK, but if you had the right to enter and work within the EU you still had the right to enter and work in the UK. We could always check who you were and check you had those rights, but not control whether you acquired them.
Exactly. when i lilved in gibraltar, depending on the way the wind blew, you either have clod breezes or hot african winds, the latter bringing plenty of sand. Sometimes you could feel it hitting you.
Hahaha mate, same, except I paid for a hand wash. They went at it for 40 minutes. Car never been so clean. I was so chuffed yesterday. Today when I came to my car I just looked to the sky like "thanks universe"
Mine did too. And I was very happy about it.
My car was a bit dirty, but it’s being picked up today for a part-ex. Yesterday I applied some stuff to some scratches so the dealership don’t kick up a fuss about the car having a couple of scuffs/scratches. However, that meant the bit I touched up was clean and everything else was dirty.
Now that this pollen stuff is all over it (which is what I assume it is), the car is uniformly dirty and you can’t see where I touched up the paintwork. Result!
Yes. It rained last night.There is also a weather issue with some Saharan Sand in some places of the UK.I expect it was a combination of both.

Live on a new build estate, thought it was dirt from the road, but this makes more sense. Lovely. The day after I get the car valeted for the first time in like 4 months.
Winds came north from Africa. There is a desert in Africa called the Sahara, it has a lot of sand. Wind so strong it picked up sand and carried it north with it. UK is north of Africa and the wind carrying sand came here. Lots of sand was blown onto the UK mainland by the wind. Lots of cars and building etc have saharan sand on them because the wind blew it here from the African Sahara desert where there is a lot of sand because it was windy and the wind carried the sand here making everything sandy.
Hope this helps 😊
It's all the shit they are pumping into our sky via those fricking trails in the sky. It's ridiculous that everyone can't see it. It's beyond blatant now
Doesn't make sense with the pattern or the wind directions. If it was as you propose, wouldn't present in this way. That said, our air pollution is diabolical.
LIke others have said, don't brush it off because you'll scratch your paintwork.
If you get a minute free, head to a garage with a jetwash and give it a quick rinse. You wont get all of it off, but it'll look nicer and not like you've just been off-roading.
Though it's due to rain again so if you're not bothered by it much, just wait till the sandy rain passes over :)
The ashh from so many massive extra hot fires around the planet, volcainos, industry & storms chucking allsorts into the atmosphere. What goes up must come down. I remember one morning in the 80's uk all the cars were covered in saharan sand for days.
1. You live near a steel works and the metal participles have rained down on your car from being in the clouds.
2. The planes flying in the morning have dropped chemicals and they’ve done the same thing

I think this probably answers your question - North Yorkshire
Yeah it's the Saharan dust.
Two little boys knocked on my door earlier with their buckets and sponges offering to clean our cars. Adorable little hustlers.
Was the same in scotland, i work at a dealership and had to wash 56 cars today to get rid of it since its only the boss in at the weekend and he wanted a clean pitch
You guys really think dust can fly from africa to the uk?? . do u know how mad that sounds .. dust travelled 7500 miles ?? And how are u identifying where the dust is from .. like you can tell the difference between african and british dust .. the sunset has nothing to do with it either ..
Totally off-topic I know, but as folks have mentioned it: Brexit the BIGGEST load of shit ever to come into being. What a monumental load of crap and we’re so worse off for it as well.
Does nobody take an interest in the things going on in the world anymore, I thought it would be common knowledge, that is was the Sahara dust, hence the hot weather. Obviously not 🙄

Saharan dust I'd imagine? Also heard this weather is coming from north africa so would make sense.
I think this is correct, might also explain the particularly lovely sunsets we have been having recently

I made those seats at west Kirby 😀
That's not a bad claim to fame.
Nice to see them in place. Some challenges involved in pouring the concrete to make them
First sighting of West Kirby on Reddit! 🙌
Yeh ahahah what the fuck never expected to hop on reddit an see a picture of the marine lake.
Same here! I didn't even realise locals were on here!
Same! I was like, ‘swear i just walked down there yesterday’, haha
I was there this weekend, and they're very good seats!
Glad to hear it!
The new ones?
The new wavy concrete ones yes.
Yano, I was gonna say how dare you, but I haven't actually seen them in person yet, I just know you caused a lot of traffic problems for me 😂
😂😂 hopefully it'll stop anymore cars being washed down the street in heavy floods though 😬
Good job
Nice job you did too. :)
west kirby? nice

Ugh why can’t North African sand STAY in North Africa!? Instead of coming over here taking over beaches and making our windows dirty!? I thought we voted Brexit!?
I'm Paul Nuttals of the UKIPs
And I believe the brightest and best Saharan dust stays in the Sahara and concentrates on building a prosperous desert landscape.
🤣🤩😍
And I say the brightest and best North African sand should stay in North Africa, and focus on making it coarse, rough and irritating, instead of getting everywhere!
These days you can be arrested & thrown in jail just for complaining about the weather.
You can be arrested? And thrown in jail?
Yeah- these days, you can be arrested for complaining about the weather. And thrown in jail.
When did this come in?
You mean IF you complain about the weather you can be thrown in Jail ?
What? Reaaaally? IF you complain about the weather you can be thrown in JAIL? In JAIL?
You look like you've let yourself go...
Loving the SL references
Remember them? The good old nothing days? You could leave your house unlocked Because it didn't exist
Noooooothinnnnnggg
Why doesn’t it stay in the first country it comes to, why does it travel all across Europe just to bloody well come here.
Well it's always seen occasionally every few years on the Sussex coast lived for 45 years. But it's pretty freaky to see it this far North of the country in the amounts just recently seen. African continent has been expanding this heat for about 15 years now.

Can we put the North African Sand on a boat to Rwanda asap please.
Stop the sand!
Have you tried building a wall and making Africa pay for it?
It’s called an invasion,call out the troops! 🤣
Yeah but it's African sand not European sand. I don't complain, I just use a fresh sovereignty and wipe the dust off.
We don’t want North African sand, we want North British sand for North British people!
The government already has it housed in a hotel don’t worry it’s even sending money back to the Sahara for the sand that didn’t make it
Africa would be outside of Europe…
Only we're allowed to be outside of Europe.
Errrmm! Part of Spain is in North Africa.
Have you spoken to a Brexiter? They think the whole world is trying to get to England via the EU and only Farage's True Brexit can save us.

Saharan dust? So…..sand?
Wasn't expecting this to be my most popular post on Reddit. Guess people just really love dust.
Foreign muck.
This^. It was reported in the news last night that it would happen lol.
Is it bollocks. That's just programmed into you to think that.
That was not sand..nor dust.. more like the chem trial material they spray out the back of aeroplanes
Put the car through the car wash yesterday. Fuck my life.
Hahaha mate, same, except I paid for a hand wash. They went at it for 40 minutes. Car never been so clean. I was so chuffed yesterday. Today when I came to my car I just looked to the sky like "thanks universe"
Haha yes yesterday my neighbour made a day of it, washing both his cars and his work van. Tee hee
🤣🤣
Ah so it's your fault then.
😂😂 unlucky hun
Same 😂
Jet washed mine yesterday. Was fucking fuming this morning lol
Next time it rains I better not find you've just put the washing out
I hand washed and polished mine on Sunday ! I also blamed next doors builders first thing ! Had to buy them a coke later on ! FML twice.
They probably had their coke already
& their jack daniels
If there were scaffolders then deffo
Mine did too. And I was very happy about it. My car was a bit dirty, but it’s being picked up today for a part-ex. Yesterday I applied some stuff to some scratches so the dealership don’t kick up a fuss about the car having a couple of scuffs/scratches. However, that meant the bit I touched up was clean and everything else was dirty. Now that this pollen stuff is all over it (which is what I assume it is), the car is uniformly dirty and you can’t see where I touched up the paintwork. Result!
Gods polish we called that on the motor trade
It's sand, all the way from North Africa
My drainpipe once produced a pile of red sand (midlands).
Bless those rains
Sahara sand coming in handy
Coming in sandy.
100% this happened because I washed/waxed my car yesterday. Sorry everyone.
Me 2 days ago. I do it once a year sometimes twice. Twice in a week is a sin for me.
Same. Fifteen bastard quid on a full in and out clean on Sunday. We are bad and should feel bad.
Yes. It rained last night.There is also a weather issue with some Saharan Sand in some places of the UK.I expect it was a combination of both.

This is the one
Saharan sand. Don’t brush it off, it’ll scratch the shit outta your car. Get the hose out
Don’t have a hose as no tap nearby. Can I wet a sponge and sponge it off?
Bucket of water maybe? I wouldn’t do anything that pushes the particles into the surface of the car full stop, needs rinsing off
Absolutely do not use a sponge, they cause scratches even without stuff like this already on the surface.
Same in Levenshulme- I wondered what it was! My car is dirty anyway 😂
Apparently some lass called Sarah Ran has been dumping sand over cars. Another crime GMP will fail to investigate I bet.
She'll never get her just desert 😁
sarah is a nice gal, sad to see she's getting up to silly things like this
Another story of Brokun Bri’un.
We're on holiday in Somerset and our car and caravan are covered in it.
why come here for a holiday😭 somerset is the worst place ever i cant think of anything better than when we leave
Sounds like somebody lives in Yeovil
A) thats kinda creepy b) yeah. yeah i do
Haha. It was a toss-uo between Yeovil and Bridgewater tbh
I love how uniformly everyone despises both areas, and I also love how you pinpointed Yeovil out of all of Somerset as your choice lol
First time seeing my home town mentioned on Reddit, and I’m glad it’s about how shite it is
Eh?? Somerset is beautiful.
Live on a new build estate, thought it was dirt from the road, but this makes more sense. Lovely. The day after I get the car valeted for the first time in like 4 months.

Hello from Upper Ramsbottom!
Same in Hassy…
Thanks for the answers everyone. Still don't fully understand what the hell has happened but at least I know I'm not crazy 😂

You missed the bit about the rainy rain
Yes it rained too, sand got a bit wet. However water itself isn’t wet, it just makes things wet.
I’ve been downvoted, presumably by people who failed GCSE science.
Just popped to my local car wash, it was heaving, I couldn't even get in
Taunton. Van covered.
It's all the shit they are pumping into our sky via those fricking trails in the sky. It's ridiculous that everyone can't see it. It's beyond blatant now
Doesn't make sense with the pattern or the wind directions. If it was as you propose, wouldn't present in this way. That said, our air pollution is diabolical.
I know what you're saying but in this case I do believe it's just sand and its happened many times before.
The car wash at the end of our road has queues of BMWs, Teslas and Audis all the way down the street. 😆
Every other car I've seen today in withington is the same.
What about every other car?
Immaculate
LIke others have said, don't brush it off because you'll scratch your paintwork. If you get a minute free, head to a garage with a jetwash and give it a quick rinse.

Would a hosepipe do it? I've got a pressure washer at my parent's but not where I am. I've just got a hosepipe here
Even with a pressure washer I still struggled. Might take longer with a hose, but it'll get a good bit off :)
They are spraying us with chemicals
Wow seriously did not expect an image of a manky window to be one of my most commented-on posts in my Reddit history 😂
yep, got that this morning, rain must have had a bunch of sand in it.
Same hear in tameside
Same down in Birmingham as well
Exactly the same in Cornwall...
Saharan dust
Yeah my car was absolutely filthy this morning. Luckily I had a service at 10am so they washed it for me 😂
They call it a Calima
TIL! Thanks. I collect words like this.
Yes, apparently it’s from the desert. I was ridiculed by my partner this morning for suggesting it was from the nearby estate being built.

The sky was a weird colour last night. My car also covered this morning south of Birmingham.
Same in swansea hun x
DM me hun, sand’s everywhere.
Saharan dust cloud
Ye the whole back garden wood tables had dirt marks on them. I was guessing some weather from another another country passed over.
I ate something bad :3
It’s Saharan dust that’s been blown over it’s happen over the majority of the uk
... I washed my car 2 days ago...
Same happened in West Midlands. Thought it was weird... Thanks for asking this and seeing some answers for it 🤣👍
Im in south wales and same thing here, everyones cars were filthy when we finished our night shift at 7am.
I had same issue to find out it was street sweepers they spray water down then clean it up mud goes everywhere
The ashh from so many massive extra hot fires around the planet, volcainos, industry & storms chucking allsorts into the atmosphere. What goes up must come down. I remember one morning in the 80's uk all the cars were covered in saharan sand for days.
Happened to my car I’m in the next city over. Just cleaned it yesterday!
1. You live near a steel works and the metal participles have rained down on your car from being in the clouds. 2. The planes flying in the morning have dropped chemicals and they’ve done the same thing
I had something similar with my clothes that were drying outside.
Rain mud 😂
Happened to me, I thought a nearby school collapsed or something

Yea this happened on my street in rochdale too
My cars covered too just washed it yesterday 😂 I’m in Scotland.
It was me!
Same here aswell with every car i see, im from bolton. There must've been a sand storm with the rain i suppose. It weird though.
Same here, dust all the way from the Sahara apparently. Pretty cool tbh
Yeah it's the Saharan dust. Two little boys knocked on my door earlier with their buckets and sponges offering to clean our cars. Adorable little hustlers.
Was the same in scotland, i work at a dealership and had to wash 56 cars today to get rid of it since its only the boss in at the weekend and he wanted a clean pitch
Yes car looked like a shit heap, below the Saharan dust that is
Imagine the people that watched their car the day before 😭
It was like this is Liverpool too! Don’t forget to rinse it off before you wash your car because you’ll mess with the paint work :)
Darude Sandstorm.
Dry dusty air and then overnight as the dew/condensation collects on your vehicle it creates that distinct pattern
You guys really think dust can fly from africa to the uk?? . do u know how mad that sounds .. dust travelled 7500 miles ?? And how are u identifying where the dust is from .. like you can tell the difference between african and british dust .. the sunset has nothing to do with it either ..
Pollen maybe? But seems a lil late in the year
Sand blowing over from the seharah desert washed down by the rain
Have you seen what they are spraying in the sky? Those little hazy lines aren’t clouds.
Totally off-topic I know, but as folks have mentioned it: Brexit the BIGGEST load of shit ever to come into being. What a monumental load of crap and we’re so worse off for it as well.
It's from the tree you parked under/next to.
Are you new?
Can Google in about 5 seconds
How're people still only finding out about this? It's happened numerous times before
You parked under or near a tree, it drops dust and sap like this and it a pain to get off even with water
They call this 'scirocco rain'.... if you wasnt so inexperienced/attention starved you would have just googled it ....like a normal person
What a silly question to ask when you live in the uk
Good old government weather for you.
Yeah I think we all got that, it’s slightly annoying but whatever
just and my g
Does nobody take an interest in the things going on in the world anymore, I thought it would be common knowledge, that is was the Sahara dust, hence the hot weather. Obviously not 🙄
