Hello there,

We've just heard from DEFRA that on Thursday there is a risk of pollution over parts of England and Wales. This is due to dust from the Sahara. It's not certain how much dust but it could be evident as early as later today.

Air pollution is a serious issue, particularly if you have a lung condition. We’ve provided some advice on what to do to protect you and your family.

Details are also on Twitter @defraukair

Regards,
