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.
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.

Another stunning sunset in Durham on 30th December 2018.
And then another on New Year’s Eve.
This one was taken on 14th November 2018. There have been some absolutely classic sunsets in Durham this year, and this was one of the better ones.
The sky turned red over Durham tonight as the sun dipped toward the horizon. No words needed really, it speaks for itself.
