The sky is a symphony of rose, gold and pale blue darkening to indigo.
But I can hear the temperature dropping like a stone!

And Ray has just told me there's a chance of a light frost tonight. ;-(

We had one last night and fog up north. It was Force 8- 9 in Sennen, which
probably explains your colourful sunset.


Dust in the atmosphere, you mean?


Salt.


Ah yes, it would be. I remember seeing absolutely astounding sunsets
on a Caribbean sailing holiday in 1978. A volcano had erupted
somewhere - can't remember which or where - and the dust in the
atmosphere produced real glory for the onlooker.
