Hurricane Ophelia Is Turning the Sky Over Western Europe an Apocalyptic Blood-Orange

No, it’s not an orange filter! Very strange sunlight today over Magdalen, apparently down to the remnants of hurricane #Ophelia dragging in Saharan air and dust. #redsun #nofilter #Magdalen #MagdalenCollege #MagdalenOxford #Oxford #OxfordUniversity #OxfordCollege #UniversityofOxford #GreatBritain #igersoxford

2.45pm and the sky looks like an eclipse is happening! Red sun caused by Saharan sand being picked up by Hurricane Ophelia #skyline #london #hurricaneophelia2017 #saharansky
