In the mid-80s, did a strange atmospheric weather wind deposit sand from Sahara desert all over the UK?
I seem to remember pavements and roads coated in high deposits of sand for a few days (I live in South Manchester).
My Dad told me it was sand from Sahara desert which had been brought over by a rare weather condition.
Now I don't know if this actually happened or whether I dreamt it all.
Yep your right. The worst dust storm to reach Britain was in 1903 when an estimated 10-million tons landed from the Sahara - Guardian Unlimited © Guardian Newspapers Limited 2004
Through the action of widespread and vigorous duststorms over places such as the Sahara, huge quantities of very fine desert sand can be carried to high enough levels (around 12000 ft/4000 m), where it can be dispersed for considerable distances downwind of the source. On many occasions, such dust is so diffused vertically and horizontally that there is little or no effect observed at ground level. However, sometimes the dust remains in sufficiently high concentrations, and can become involved with a medium level weather system, which results in the dust being transported towards such places as France, Britain and Ireland. If rain falls, the dust falls as well. This is primarily due to washing out of the dust by large raindrops. This leaves a dusty residue on car windscreens, rain gauges etc., with the most common colour being similar to old mortar: i.e. light beige, but deeper brown, orange and red hues have been observed. The effect is usually noted after light, showery rainfall, often involving medium level instability - heavier rainfall tends to wash the evidence away. A warm, southerly (Tropical continental) low-level airstream, together with a strong southerly middle level flow (circa 700 mbar), originating from the North African area are the conditions required for such events in the northwest of Europe.
