Dr Rob Thompson, from the University of Reading's meteorology department, said the strange sky was caused by dust in the atmosphere, but that it could have originated from the Sahara. He said as Ophelia passed Africa on its journey north, it sucked up the dust, which is now in our atmosphere.
"It's not that unusual, it happens quite regularly," he said. "Because of the way that Ophelia has tracked it's pulling a lot of dust up from the south.
"I think the absolute giveaway is that tomorrow we'll find our cars covered in orangey yellow dust."
He said their radar has picked up the dust in the atmosphere: "We can definitely see that there is something in the atmosphere - from about one kilometre up there's a layer of something. The storm is sucking the wind up from the right area."There's always dust in the atmosphere but we find the Saharan dust is bigger than the normal stuff."
