The forecast for this coming week is for sunny skies and warm weather.
I view of the type of weather we have had for most of the summer, I give warning that I will not be responsible for my act when the it’s person says “ oooh it’s too hot”

This afternoon MrOops car is covered in orange Saharan dust, he had it cleaned yesterday!

Our cars were covered in Saharan dust too!
Actually, still are.

Don't clean it off with a cloth and water, it could scratch the paintwork, just use a hose or pressure washer.

Bring it on. It makes me feel well. 31 degrees is just right for me. The rest of the year I am wearing two pairs of pyjamas and a bed jacket and still shivering.
Apologies to those who feel uncomfortable in the heat.

We have the Saharan dust as well. DH says he will hose it down while I’m at work tomorrow, so I don’t notice the water usage!

Saharan dust was my excuse for not getting my car cleaned this afternoon

It's cool and misty here in Norway ( sigh)...

There is still a massive amount to dust in the air and more coming our way. 6.30 am now and the sky is bright red, due to dust. I hope the forecast thundery rain at 4 does happen, it will help clean my car and the air

I was glad I'd read this thread. As DH stared in dismay at the state of his car I was able to say knowledgeably, 'Oh that's the Sahara dust!'
