A heavy band of rain could see a Saharan dust cloud rain down on Ireland today and tonight as showers sweep across country.
Met Eireann have forecast patches of rain or drizzle during the day before 'heavy' rain develops in the west of Ireland on Tuesday evening and extend eastwards overnight.
The strange phenomenon could leave cars covered in dust on Wednesday morning due to ‘blood rain’, which is a term used when red-coloured rain falls from the sky.
