Motorists were this morning greeted by dirt covering their cars as much of the UK prepared to return to work following the bank holiday weekend.

It comes after dusty skies were spotted across Europe, bringing dirt and sand from the east, as revealed by Devon Live .

The so-called Saharan dust is expected to continue for at least a few more days and has primarily affected the south west of the UK - though has reached as far as North Wales.

A product of strong winds over deserts in Africa, this weather blows dust and sand towards countries as far as our own - and experts say it's not over yet.

BBC Weather presenter Simon King revealed that there will be more deposited sand tomorrow as it gets rained out of the air with showers.

The impact of the Saharan dust was also confirmed today by meteorologist and Good Morning Britain presenter Laura Tobin who took to Twitter to explain what it'll mean for Brits.

She said that the Saharan dust is likely to cause beautiful sunrises and sunsets across the country.

It comes as "unstable air" from Spain and France is brought to the UK as a southerly flow - with the possibility of thunderstorms into this week.

But the temporary eastern weather has led many Brits feeling deflated after the scorching Easter weekend.

Taking to social media, one affected motorist explained: "Grumpy today. Think it started when I came out of the house to find my car covered in dust after I got it cleaned yesterday."

Another wrote "didn't anticipate this" along with a photo of their recently polished car.

And it seems the dust has even reached North Wales, with one motorist from Wrexham posting the damage to their car this morning as well.
