- The red and orange hues seen over Stuttgart are caused by aerosols scattering sunlight in the atmosphere.
- Particles like Saharan dust and fine pollution enhance the vividness of sunrise colors.
- Clear air without excessive fog or haze is necessary for these striking morning reds to be visible.
- This weather pattern is expected to persist until just before Christmas, after which cloud cover will diminish the colorful skies.
Currently, according to the weather expert, at least part of the observed color intensity can be explained by Saharan dust.— Clemens Steiner from the German Weather Service explains the current color intensity of the sky.
