A meteorology expert told the BBC the unusual sky was caused by a phenomenon known as Rayleigh scattering. According to Oxford, Rayleigh scattering is the scattering of light by particles in a medium even without a change in its wavelength.

Our sky looks pink/orangey which is not the usual tone and we can really smell smoke,” as stated in @Fujoshen’s post on Twitter last September 23.

And yes, even places in the Philippines were also affected with the haze’s smoke that makes the clouds pink.

This is not an Instagram filter. THIS IS INDONESIA AT 1:00 PM. The sky turns red, due to the smog. Schools are all closed in. We miss seeing the sky in blue!

Although some thought that this could be an Instagram filter or was made by editing software applications.
