Whilst I didn't myself as I was bed bound, some people noticed this.

Did you?

This is a serious question and not a prank btw.

Yes. When I went for lunch there was a red tinch to everything sort of light twilight but a different colour.

As explained in the BBC article this was widely reported and understood. It was dust that hurricane Ophelia had dragged in from the Sahara and the forest fire in Europe.

IIRC the first time it was reported was in the early 80's but I can't find a link.
