Is anyone else coughing a lot today with the Saharan dust?

Just wondering if I'm coughing a lot due to the Saharan dust/ hurricane Ophelia blowing about all sorts? The sky is a beautiful tangerine colour here in Staffordshire, quite unusual!

I'm in Scotland, the sky is very dark here. I've been struggling with my chest out and about today and was wondering if it was the storm. Staying in for the rest of the day and hoping it clears tomorrow.

Hope you feel better soon and everyone stays safe and as well as possible xxx

Thanks Emily, what an eerie day it was, hope you're ok now.

Hi there,

There's some information on dealing with toxic dust on our website, keep windows shut and make sure you have your reliever inhaler on you: bit.ly/2ztjuEb

Hope this helps,
