Sahara rainfall?

[Dustydog]

Deep polished two days ago. Strange rain last night resulted in this mess 🙀
Anyone else had this recently?

Yes, it is the dust from the Sahara, as your heading states. In Nigeria, we referred to it a Hamatan, or Harmatan, finer than talcum powder, the visibility could get down to 1/2 a mile. It clogs up jet engines as it solidifies in the cooling ducts, much as the smoke from Volcanoes.

My wife’s car is covered in fine dust and being dark grey it’s very noticeable.

We had it about two weeks ago.
