Red sun over UK on October 16, 2017 by Colin Cradock, via BBC.
The BBC is reporting – and Twitter is buzzing – about a red sun and eerie sky seen in many parts of the United Kingdom today (October 16, 2017). The BBC said its weather presenter Simon King explained
… it was due to the remnants of Hurricane Ophelia dragging in tropical air and dust from the Sahara.
He added that debris from forest fires in Portugal and Spain was also playing a part.
The dust has caused light to be refracted and reflected in longer wavelengths, making it appear red.

Bottom line: Red sun over the UK on October 16, 2017, caused by dust from the Sahara, raised via Hurricane Ophelia.
