It's a little hazy here and there's a bit of dust on the cars but nothing too bad. :-\ Anyone gasping? :o ;D
-
Surely pollution is man made?
How can the planet polute itself with desert dust?... FFS! ::)
-
Cows? Methane?
;)
-
Curry/Chrisgixer.
...and? :)
-
Don't forget volcanos ;D

Good point Gayboy! ;D
Never mind the EU will be banning deserts soon and EU directive EU/8702628734560289756/a/965087156754 will decree that the wind can only blow in certain directions to reduce the effects of natural phenomena such as volcanoes, desert dust, and cow farts! :)

I washed the cars on Monday. What a waste of time, covered in speckled dust where rain has fallen on them.
Still, as my grandma would say, at least its clean dirt

I am curious as to what the agenda is.
I cannot recall the pollution level ever being part of the daily weather report, pollen yes. This has been going on since at least the weekend on the gov puppet tv channel.
Sand from the Sahara, happened before and only ever been a footnote in the news for that day, not day, after day, after day.
If frogs or fish are again carried on the wind, will this be pollution that is continually reported, school playtime cancelled and the emergency services further stretched ::)
Are we being gently indoctrinated so that the new EU pollution tax levels are readily accepted ::) :-\

Well put, climate changed my arse, it fluctuates as it has done for millennium. Pollution my arse, it is simply sand blown up into the atmosphere and dropping, happened before will happen again. :y

And days after a new global warming report saying that Kevin Costner is real.

Yep, had a very bad weekend, had to take a day's holiday on Monday, breathing was so bad......... :( :(
I blamed the weather, not knowing about any pollution, as went out to the Pub for a party on Saturday and walked :o walk home is a lot of uphill and a killer, I was in a hell of a state when I got home...... :(
Went out again on Monday to the Pub for a meal, I drove, and was fine...... :y :y

Apparently the responsibility for pollution moved on Tuesday from the Atomic Energy Agency to the Met Office, hence the reporting. It is still BOLLUX, the climate fluctuates END OF.

Nevertheless the fact is that recent weather conditions have caused additional health problems in those with lung / breathing problems, there has been a huge increase in 999 calls for assistance Nationally................ :( :(

The trouble is reporting it, like the guy running in central London said " i didnt know, but now you mention it.."

As it always has and as tilda says it is only the reporting that causes an increase. I do sympathise with those who have problems but it is nothing new.
-
Its a very common occurrence actually. It's regularly covered the cars. Just hasn't been on the national news as often.

Apparently David Cameron decided to forgo his daily run today and do some work instead! ::) ;D
Heard that on BBC 5 Live this afternoon. :)

Actually that explains the sudden change I recognised, but still over hype. Should be treated just the same as pollen count, info disseminated job done. No need for this hourly scaremongering going on for days. End of again
Different experts, saying different things about the same subject, surprise it's in the mail http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2595840/UK-weather-Experts-divided-smog-cloud-actually-exists.html (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2595840/UK-weather-Experts-divided-smog-cloud-actually-exists.html)
I will of course find other more suitable sources, if this source is deemed as more or less unreliable as the rest ::)

Agreed, desert sands have been lying on my cars a number of times over many years, certain weather conditions affect those with problems, I have experienced some high winds that literally take my breath away, othes don't seem too, a really hot day with a sudden down pour will see me take to the indoors due to the sudden high humidity.......... :( :(
-
What about rapeseed, the yellow stuff, which grows in abundance round here. Looks lovely but badly affects SWMBO.
-
The pollution here is nothing even on these so called 'bad' days.
To put it into perspective, the current uk level 10 would be classed as normal in Shanghai.....where as a very high would be up to ten times our very high.

Ah yes, perspective ::)

I bet it's worse than that again, in the Sahara on occasion.

Ah but in the Sahara it's just sand, not pollution. ;)

Yeah how does North Africa cope with all that "pollution"? ::)
Having said that though, I've been a bit chesty for 5 days :D
