Enterprising car cleaning companies are coming to the rescue after clouds of Sahara dust decended on vehicles and houses across the Horsham district yesterday.

Residents within the town and surrounding villages including Pulborough, Broadbridge Heath, Southwater, Warnham, Steyning - and more - reported cars covered in the organge-coloured dust.

Many took to social media to report their findings with some querying what it was.

A spokesperson for Warnham Local Nature Reserve said: “We have had a real dumping of Saharan Dust on the Reserve.”
