Is it wildfire dust or Saharan dust ? Some sources think it's mainly from the Iberian widlfires.

A dry, windy and remarkable day - no rain but plenty of weather. Warm with hazy sunshine this morning and the temperature reaching 21 deg C by 11am in a light breeze. It then clouded over with a remarkably red sun and the wind picking up, the sky becoming dark enough for some street lights to come on at around 3pm. The cold front arrived at 4.30pm and the sun's orange tinge disappeared within seconds.Maximum 21.6, minimum 12.2. Wind fresh S.

Here's a photo taken from the hill above Caversham of the front approaching.

An unforgettable weather day.

A bit breezy to start but feeling very warm, with temps of 18c at 8am, the skies were very dark and with an eerie brown tinge caused by the Saharan dust.

It quickly brightened up with sunny spells and blue skies and scattered clouds with lightish winds.

By afternoon the winds picked up markedly with gusts of 80mph in Mumbles and it was very breezy indeed walking to the gym.

This evening the winds are only slowly fading, it is still windy out there with over 50mph gusts, with the odd shower, temps have now dropped to the low teens.

Dry and cloudy morning but when clearing gave a strange orange glow in the cloud then becoming sunny.The glow caused by the upcoming  reminants of hurricane Ophelia bringing sand from Africa.Windy later and very windy as of now,max 17 deg,min 13 deg

A dry and breezy day with the wind increasing for a time this evening. Of course the most notable thing was the yellow skies and red sun around lunchtime before blue skies eventually appeared later in the afternoon.
