I was wondering why the sky became all orange this late afternoon (Austria).
Edit: wait why it says next Tuesday? Was it something else? (very cloudy and became full orange like post-apocalypse for one hour)

Lunar eclipses are actually quite dim. They don’t have any effect on the color of the sky even at night.

Alright, what would cause a cloudy sky to become orange in late afternoon?

It can happen especially often after rain, I'd imagine it's due to the high humidity causing lots of deflection of shorter wavelength light (blues) and leaving lots of reds and oranges.
