Blue skies here but the sun looks anaemic. Obviously still a lot of dust in the atmosphere.

We have orange clouds and a red sun. Almost like some planets in No Man's Sky.

Yeah we had that yesterday - must be drifting eastwards. Looks like there'll be a lot of car washing this weekend.

The dust is refracting out blue and green light waves out of the sunlight so the red/orange end of the sunlight is dominant apparently. So my basic comprehension of this phenomenon goes. Enjoy the weird, it's not harmful.

And yes, someone is due a pile of dust at some point. We seemed to get away with it here. The storm nicely vacuumed my front garden for me. It's got bits of litter from passing oiks in it but it's clean as a whistle this morning.

There is a far asthma issue with that dust tho a day or two won't do much and after all it is London with all the accompanying pollution of various types.
Good for the gardens tho.

Some had other problems:

Up here in the north west, I found myself having some trouble breathing, and I had not put two and two together until now. My tubes have never been the same since pertussis 4 years ago.

We’re having the same issues in western Canada with the raging wildfires. Many respiratory problems.

Northwest is air is amazing ...was a total treat for me for both breathing and photography.

Round two coming up
