Red Sun and Dark Skies Over UK Thanks to Hurricane Ophelia's Aftermath
UK Under a Strange Red Glow
Dark skies and a blood-red sun are haunting the UK, all thanks to the downgraded Hurricane Ophelia barreling towards the region. Experts warn it’s the hurricane dragging in tropical air and thick Sahara dust that’s turning the sky eerie.
Sahara Dust and Fire Debris Are to Blame
But that’s not all. Specialists reveal debris from raging forest fires in Portugal and Spain is joining the mix, pushing the weird red tint even further. The fine dust scatters blue light, leaving the sun looking a fiery red spectacle.
