In the mid-80s, made a deposit of sand Strange Weather atmospheric wind of the Sahara desert across the United Kingdom?
I recollection of sidewalks and paved roads in high deposits of sand for a few days (I live in the south of Manchester). My father said it was the sand of the Sahara desert that had been led by a rare meteorological condition. Now, I do not know if what has actually happened or whether I dreamed it all.
Yep your right. The worst dust storm to reach Britain was in 1903 when a 10-million tonnes landed in the Sahara – Guardian Unlimited © Guardian Newspapers Limited 2004 by the action of dust storms and strong widespread on places like the Sahara, huge quantities of very fine desert sand can be increased to levels high enough (about 12000 ft/4000 m), where it can be dispersed over considerable distances downstream from the source. On several occasions, the dust are then disseminated to vertically and horizontally there is little or no effect observed at ground level. However, sometimes the dust remains in high enough concentrations, and may be associated with an average weather system, resulting in dust transported to places like France, Great Britain and Ireland. If rain falls, and the dust falls. This is primarily due to wash the dust by large raindrops. This leaves a residue dust on car windshields, gauges, etc., with the most common color is similar to old mortar beige to know, but darker, orange and red colors were observed. The effect is usually observed after light rain rainy, often involving the instability Medium Level – higher rainfall tend to wash away evidence. A warm welcome to the south (continental tropical) air flow low altitude, with a strong current towards the south at the intermediate level (700 mbar), originating in the area of North Africa are the requirements for such events in the north-west Europe.
