I thought everything looked a bit weird outside - like a Sci-Fi Horror film. I remarked to the wife that I was expecting zombies to start wandering around the garden.

Think it's something to do with being closer to Mars at the moment.

It was yellow in Surrey for about 20 mins this evening - it was like wearing those low-light condition glasses! And a full 180deg rainbow too.

Caused by the setting sun appearing at the end of a heavy rain front.

yup. In the summer time here, where we can have quite heavy showers (FL), it often turns green in the afternoon. Very densely overcast, early twilight kind of effect. Almost spooky.

could be something to do with this if it was after dark

space weather man said:
Big sunspot 798 exploded twice yesterday, August 22nd, and hurled a pair of coronal mass ejections apparently toward Earth. Geomagnetic storms are possible when the clouds arrive. Sky watchers should be alert for auroras during the nights of August 23rd and 24th. High latitudes are favored: e.g., Canada, Alaska and northern-tier US states from Washington to Maine.

I got that on the M25 this evening. Even more surreal with the car lights on all around. Kind of cool.
