Switzerland here, I agree. When I looked out the window after waking up it looked surreal and scary.

I tried taking a picture with my phone, but sadly it didn't turn out orange at all.

Not having noticed this phenom before, I was quite worried and sent out some panic filled voice messages. Thankfully a friend pointed me to SRF meteo where it was explained.

Judging by the top post of r/switzerland "Why is the sky orange" I wasn't the only one.

Didn't it just happen like a year ago? I looked outside and my mind immediately jumped to Saharan desert sand for some reason.
