Queens Park Road, unusual colour sky
Image: © Paul Gillett Taken: 16 Oct 2017
It is 3.45pm and the sky has been unusually dark despite no rain It is thought the remnants of Hurricane Ophelia dragged tropical air and dust from the Sahara, which turned the sky a strange red. It was so dark in Brighton and Hove that streetlights switched on, with automatic sensors thinking it was nighttime http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/15599879.Red_sky_leaves_onlookers_in_awe/
