I remember being at our local library some years ago. The sky was cloudy, dark, with a strange brown tinge. I thought it was going to unleash a deluge but, no, it stayed dry. As I went off elsewhere the clouds were thinning, and the sun was a deep red at midday. Seriously surreal moment, but about ten minutes later, you could see the cloud of dust (Saharan dust as it turned out but I didn't know that at the time) thinning and moving north like a rolling fog bank.
