Did anyone notice a weirdness in the light yesterday? In my part of the country (east anglia) we had a weekend of unseasonably gorgeous weather with the exception of yesterday AM, when there was the same dim & imminent quality there is atm. This was roughly between 10 and 12. I nearly posted about it but couldn't think of an appropriate thread

Yeah we had it W.Yorkshire as well, but much later in the afternoon. I get that this storm has sucked up a load of sand + smoke that filters light towards the red end of the spectrum. I was googling earlier about why the sky often looks beautiful in southern hemisphere movies, the red sun and different colour light qualities to drab N Europe. I didn't get any satisfactory answer, just something about the moon is experienced the other way round and there is less ozone above Australia.

It got intense in Cork but only really between 12 and 3. Some power outages, trees felled

3 people died in the hurricane today in ireland, not part of britain, a national emergency in a relatively tiny country.

It's as blustery out there now as it's been all day but we seem to have escaped completely despite trees down all around the place within a few miles
