I wouldn't have decribed the sky as milky in the way that I
have seen it after some major Saharan dust incursions. It was more
brown-grey, especially near the horizon and the sun appeared
yellowish, especially on Wednesday when it went in and out behind some
small high Cu. This implies small particles whereas Saharan dust
seems to be rather larger and scatters visible wavelengths fairly
uniformly, like cloud or fog droplets.


.... yesterday and the previous day 'milky' was the most apt description;
no 'brown' haze seen here.

Sky much 'cleaner' today.
