People are being told to expect "enhanced" sunsets and sunrises as a result of the dust.

And in any rain, some dust may be deposited on people's vehicles.

A Met Office spokesperson said: "The amazing image captures a plume of Saharan dust moving out of Africa and into the Atlantic.

"Southerly winds will push some of the dust towards the UK later this weekend.

"Watch out for enhanced sunsets and sunrises, and perhaps some dust deposits on cars with any passing rain."
