Anyone got it? My sister in Hampshire says he car, windows and Wheely bin are covered in it. None here so hopefully it won't get this far West.

I can't see any through the window Ann but the rain might be washing it away. We have had it a couple of times in recent years though.

Ah , Belle has confirmed it. The sky is a yellowish colour here. It happened once before when we were caught in it, about 4 years ago.

It looked like the end of the world, the sky became. black.

Yep, we’ve got it too. It started raining as we were coming back from town. OH put the wiper blades on and they were just swishing yellow gunge backwards and forwards.

I’m hoping the heavy rain we’ve been having for ages will be washing it away. There is a slight tinge in the sky.
Best of all, my white car is tucked up in the garage ;-)

We had an orange sky, and generally orange hue, this morning, but the rain has cleared the sky.

I can see what tomorrows task is. There is definitely an orangy tide mark on our window ledges.

Staying in Southsea at the moment, sky was very weird colour this morning. Lots of rain but no dust.
