News release on the dust here :-

Thanks, Jon. I see the MO are highlighting pollen from Denmark, but I
doubt very much that is the major constituent. I'd go for a combination of
fire smoke from Russia and possibly some dust from further east, as others
have suggested.

The NOAA 18 13.41Z image shows much of the British Isles, bar the far NE
and SW, covered.

The 13.55Z MODIS image also shows it well, even suggesting Iceland was
affected today.
