Why does the sky go Yellow before a storm ?

Its because its whipped up a load of Sahara dust into the atmosphere.

Depends a bit - in this case apparently it is because the storm has dragged up some Saharan dust from Africa and smoke from forest fires in Europe along its way.

It needs a peepee. The longer it holds it in, the yellower it turns and the angrier the storm is when it finally lets go.

Why does the sky look so strange?
So it looks like it could be Saharan dust, or possibly a side-effect of the forest fire in Portugal and Spain. Either of these could be affecting the atmosphere and the way the sun is being filtered.

We're still not sure about the exact science of it all but at least the apocalypse isn't upon us.

Tours over boyo, best get down the supermarket and stock up on beans and water.

An "unusual" reddish sky and red-looking sun have been reported across parts of England.

The phenomenon has been seen in the South West, the Midlands, North West and North East.

BBC weather presenter Simon King said it was due to the remnants of Hurricane Ophelia dragging in tropical air and dust from the Sahara.

We had the yellow sky earlier, but it was dark and raining at the same time - certainly the sun wasn't visible. Now it's foggy and extremely dark and the streetlights were on 45 mins ago - I can't say I've ever seen our streetlights on this early in the day.
