This unusual phenomenon has been seen in the South West, West Midlands, North West and North East.
On 16 October 2017, the combination of the powerful ex-hurricane Ophelia, wildfires in Portugal and Spain, and uplifting of desert dust from the Sahara all combined to varying degrees to turn the colour of the sky a deep brown and orange hue, and the Sun red, across England, Wales and parts of Scotland.

The sun turned into a small, bright, red ball shining through a blanket of clouds.

Forecasters at the Met Office are investigating the hurricane and said it could have been caused by a large amount of dust from the Sahara.

Storm Ophelia is expected to hit the UK mainland at around midday, with flights grounded and a "danger to life" warning in place.

Planes have been grounded at Manchester Airport, with 20 flights cancelled and passengers warned to check ahead.
