Why did Storm Ophelia turn the sun red?
Sunset looked like it had arrived at midday in parts of England - and forecasters say this is linked to the former hurricane.
Parts of England have experienced an unusual side effect from Storm Ophelia: a blood red sun.
The former hurricane's powerful winds have pulled air and dust up from southern Europe and Africa - with the spectacular sight prompting "lots of calls" to the Met Office.
