Dramatic red skies in Australia due to cyclone and soil drought

Preview Brief

Almost surreal images showing bright red and orange skies are coming out of Australia. This meteorological phenomenon is caused by the passage of a powerful cyclone sweeping along the west coast. It is a rare sight, but known to happen during major sandstorms or dust storms. This red Australian sky is also one of the effects of soil drought, something that could occur more often because of climate change.
