Did you wake up to a ghostly red sun today or witness a strange red hue to the sky on your lunch break or as you left work? Many people in England reported the phenomenon on Monday morning - and it appears to have been caused by Hurricane Ophelia.

The unusual phenomenon has been seen across the country, starting in the west of the country before sweeping across to the Capital.

Many posted pictures of the bizarre sighting on social media, wondering if it is a sign of the oncoming storm.

Some areas have been forced to turn on street lights in the middle of the day as the dust partially blocked out the sun.
