Storm Ophelia has raged in on Ireland from the Atlantic, and while England is mostly unaware of the devastation it's brought with it, it has left us one reminder of its presence: a sensational orange sky.
From this morning through to the afternoon, skylines across the country have been highlighted with a natural sepia tone. Caused by Saharan sands being blown over to the UK, the red suns and yellow/orange skies have been a sight to behold. Here's some of the best views from today, courtesy of Twitter:
