Hurricane Ophelia.....

[MulsanneKinky]

Red sun... caused by the hurricane apparently. As seen by me from Kent.

I'm currently in Skerries, north Co Dublin. Lights are flickering on and off and it is very windy. An hour ago it was like a summers day, 20 degrees and quite calm. Took a drive down to the beach and I know now what it feels like to be sand blasted. Waves were high, but luckily tide is low, this will have passed by high tide this evening, hopefully. Everywhere is closed all public transport, flights, etc have been cancelled.

Was yellow and dark here this morning to the west of Glasgow, but cleared up a bit into a typical grey day. Not much wind as of now.

The yellow cloud is passing over (Warwickshire) blue sky's behind it.

I've been monitoring Howth on windy.com as I originally hail from that area.

There's anice pun in there somewhere.

Went to see Bladerunner last night, think I'm in it this afternoon.

The sky in Godalming has gone a very weird colour, feels like I'm stuck inside a set of movie camera filters.

Incredibly odd.

[Byker28i]

Yeah it all blows over - bright sunny sky behind

[Eric Mc]

To be honest, when I worked in Godalming it always felt I was trapped in some sort of alternative universe - a bit like "The Trueman Show".

Farnborough is now experiencing that weird yellow sky. It's the end of the world, I tell ya. Run for the hills.

I presume that's the same incident I mentioned at 13.13 - unless there's been another unfortunate woman driver in Waterford.

NE Scotland here...if you didn't know the time you would think it's 9pm at night! Black skies and very dark...odd indeed!

Some big waves coming in at Minack/Porthcurno on the webcam.

I’m in Northamptonshire and it’s all very yellowy. Hi he wind has picked up recently quite a bit

[drmotorsport]

The sky has been somewhat orange all day in London, not sure if that's the smog or not though

I didn't see the earlier post, A man in his early 30s has died while in the course of clearing a fallen tree in Co Tipperary.

[djdest]

It’s gone very grey now and looks like smoke in places



Compared to earlier:

A chain saw accident, apparently.

Now in Croydon it's very very dark and the wind is picking up. A bit like Ghostbusters, just expecting the Marshmallow Man....

[MulsanneKinky]

My iPhone does this no justice whatsoever... The sky has turned orange ffs!!

[karma mechanic]

Just been at Mudeford Quay near Christchurch. The tide was very high when we got there, sloshing onto the car park. Very dark clouds in several distinct layers, none of which looked quite right, with a baleful orange glow showing through from time to time. The tidal race from Christchurch Harbour was the fastest I've seen, with a line of heavy breakers just off the shoreline. Once or twice in the distance the Needles were lit up in orange just below the darkness.

Last night I watched the first 3 episodes of American Gods. Today I really felt like I'd slipped through to that world.

Wind starting to pick up a good bit in Belfast
