So we're all braced for ex-Hurricane Ophelia to hit us and it is now even stretching over into the UK.
Hey! So currently here in the U.K. We have a hurricane but what's weird is that the sun is red. Apparently it's dust but what do you think? pic.twitter.com/686ENevVtG

The Met Office is investigating the phenomenon - but experts have suggested it's all because of dust from the Sahara, and forest fires in Spain and Portugal.
