'Eerie' blood rain coming to UK: What is Blood Rain and how does it happen?

The UK is bracing for a rare 'blood rain' event as a plume of red Saharan dust, mixed with African biomass smoke, is predicted to reach southern England. This phenomenon occurs when rain picks up dust particles, turning showers red and leaving a dusty residue. Experts confirm no health concerns, though hazy, reddish-orange skies are possible.
