Default It's here again - that orange glow

Unusually light and orangey across sky and houses so later after

sunset.
1745 East Yorkshire.


Despite 7 oktas stratocumulus at 5000ft (sc perlucidus), the pink
glow was very much in evidence shortly after sunset here here on Fair
Isle. It was very much enhanced by the haze reducing the visibility
to 12km.
Rather interestingly, just before sunset, the sky took on a very pale
lime green colouration that slowly faded to be overtaken by the
orange glow at dusk.

Do you think that was a green flash? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_flash
