An interesting phenomenon resulting from the release of the ex-hurricane "Ophelia" in the middle latitudes, observed in Moscow on Tuesday, October 17. All day the color of the sky and the sun was bronze. South winds blowing in front of a tropical storm, brought dust from the Sahara to the British Isles and Western Europe. Meteorologists in the UK drew attention to the bright red-orange color of the sun and the dust on the cars on Monday, October 16.

With powerful jet stream directed from the British Isles to the East, African dust has spread to Russia. On the way, the dust concentration decreased, so the color of the sky turned softer, pastel.
