Spanish skies turn orange due to clouds of Saharan dust now heading for UK

Spanish skies have been tinted blood orange by a mass of Saharan dust passing over the country - with the UK potentially feeling the effects soon.

A mass of hot air covered the Mediterranean country this morning, with Spaniards waking up to an eerily glowing sky - Wales Online reports. Storm Celia has been dubbed responsible for the Saharan dust which hit southern parts of Spain, with Madrid and Murcia among the worst hit locations.

Laboratorio de Climatologia at the University of Alicante has warned people against staying outside for long periods, and that they should wear masks if they do so, reports the Mirror. Spanish officials have also issued extremely poor air quality ratings, with locals in some parts told to avoid exercising altogether.
