Red sun in a strange sky
Red sun in a strange sky
The remnants of Hurricane Ophelia - which caused damage in Ireland and Wales - had drawn tropical air containing Saharan dust and debris from forest fires in Spain and Portugal over parts of the British Isles. At around three o'clock on this October afternoon the sun was reddish orange, but by four o'clock it had been obscured by thickening cloud - see TL4656 : Cowper Road: strange light at four o'clock.
