Spectacular sunset over East Anglia shines through Saharan dust
A layer of dust and sand blown over from the Sahara desert has produced a spectacular sunset over parts of the Anglia region.
It came as exceptionally mild conditions saw record high temperatures for December in Bedfordshire and Suffolk.
The Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said there was a moderate risk of dust from the Sahara settling across parts of the UK. Carried over from the African desert by southerly winds, it will largely affect parts of the South East and London.
Temperatures are expected to stay mild in the run up to Christmas peaking on Saturday when more record daytime and night time temperatures could be recorded in the Anglia region.
December 2015 is turning out to be one of the mildest on record with temperatures in the first half of the month 5°C above average for the time of year.
