'Hope you didn't wash the windows' - Ireland to be swept with Saharan sand on Friday
If you're heading out on Friday, you might want to bring an umbrella and maybe even a sand bucket!
Alan O'Reilly from Carlow Weather has warned people to expect gusts of Saharan sand landing on Irish shores from Africa on Friday.
As Ireland experienced the warmest day of the year on Thursday, this bizarre twist seems to be almost expected in this continuous plight of Irish weather.
But just how odd is this weather phenomenon? It turns out this isn't actually too uncommon for Ireland and it tends to happen a couple of times each year.

Saharan dust can reach Irish shores when dust storms in the Sahara region coincide with winds coming from the south. Although it can have an impact on air pollution, it's nothing people need to worry about - unless you're concerned about your clean windows, of course!
As the Carlow Weather man points out, Friday will also bring an end to the dry weather with rain forecast across the country which will drag the dust down onto the ground.
