Wiltshire is set for warm temperatures as a 'Saharan Plume' is predicted to sweep across the UK in the upcoming days.

After summery weather hit the county  briefly this month before disappearing, locals will be excited to learn that things are about to start hotting up in Wiltshire again.

It comes amid reports of another Saharan dust plume which could reach British shores.

But despite the sunny weather, UK residents should brace themselves for the potential dust storm, as experts have issued warnings about the significant dust hazard it could pose.

A surge in air pollution levels is expected, which could spell trouble for those with lung conditions such as asthma.

The dust is also expected to settle on cars, and could scratch paintwork and windows if not cleaned off properly.

If this happens, motorists should rinse their car thoroughly before soaking it in a snow foam soak and giving it another good rinse.
