Just on the edge of the storm today windy and strange coloured sky and orange sun. All cleared now blue skies and normal sun.

I experienced the same coming out of Corby coupled with lots of dust. 15 - 20 minutes later blue skies and sun albeit breezy still.
 
It was like the end of the world was coming a really odd day. The sun was so different followed by a cloudy sky clearing late afternoon.
 
Yes loads of dust here the cars are filthy. Blaming the Sahara again.
 
Same here in Lincoln. I washed my car on Saturday and now it's grotty.

Same here near Grimsby, nice and clear now, recon it should be a good sunset.
 
The sky was odd right from first light. Amazing how quickly it cleared this afternoon. Breezy but not difficult although reports of trees down just a few miles away.
Four mucky cars again though
 
Its blowing all the leafs off the trees :mad: there will none left for the Wye Valley Autumn Colours run :arghh::arghh::arghh::arghh::arghh:

Hopefully it'll be calming down a bit soon.
It was snowing leaves on the way home though.
 
I looked out of the window at work earlier as there was a weird orange reflection on the bonnet of the zed which was the sun. Everywhere outside looked really yellow it was weird. The sun was like this several times throughout the day.

Sandust in the winds created by the ex- hurricane causing the orange glow of the sun I believe - source UK weather at 6:25 pm :)
 
Saw the red sun in Scotland before we left this morning currently in the lake district really windy since about 4 pm but been pretty much dry not much rain so far

It was like looking at the world through some cheap sunglasses in Lincoln Dave. Weird.
