Incredible Red Sunset in Durham April 26th 2020

Just had this photo sent of the incredible sunset of 26th April 2020. The sun was setting under a shallow cloud cover and it produced this red sunset and double rainbow. The cloud produced the first measurable rain for 2 weeks, in what looks destined to be one of the driest Aprils on record in Durham.

The driest April was in 1938. This month only received 2mm of rainfall.

Amazing sunrise from Wharton Park Durham 8th December 2019

Sunrise over Durham Cathedral 4

Some amazing shots this morning of the sunrise from Wharton Park, with Durham Cathedral silhouetted against the fiery skyline. The day soon turned into a blustery one with showers and gusty westerly winds.
