Why Did Storm Goretti Turn Birmingham's Sky Bright Pink?

Storm Goretti has hit the UK, bringing with it heavy snowfall and incredibly strong winds.

The harsh weather conditions, which have risen from the south to meet the UK’s existing cold front, led to multiple weather warnings.

But it’s unlikely that even the most diligent forecast-checker would have expected the luminous pink sky seen by some in Birmingham during the storm.

So why did the highlighter-bright shade, described by the BBC as “Stranger Things pink,” take over?

A mysterious pink sky in Birmingham during Storm Goretti was compared to something "out of Stranger Things" as the region experienced its worst snowfall in almost a decade. #Storm#Goretti
