Glasgow here, this morning I had the lights on as it was more like dusk than morning but eventually, this afternoon it brightened up. We have the storm to look forward to much later today. I do hope there is not too much destruction.

I saw it and thought "How weird"! It looked like a red moon. I'm in London.

Yes, I saw it. Clouded over now but the daylight has a red tinge to it.

Very windy here in Herts, now, and the sun looking red through a hazy sky. According to the weather on BBC, the wind will ease by teatime, here.

We saw that in the car this morning, and the fact that the light had a very luminous, lemony tinge. Still has to some extent but the wind is getting up now.

Has anyone else seen the red sun? It's very odd to see it high in the sky. Apparently sand from the Sahara in the atmosphere and the effects of fires in Spain and Portugal.
