The storm is believed to have picked up dust from the Sahara and debris from forest fires in Spain and Portugal as it travelled towards the UK.
This caused the sun to appear red and created an atmospheric orange glow across the West Country and Bristol.
Bristol resident Simon Gallowway tweeted: 'Weird Sun over Bristol right now. Looking like something from Star Wars.'
Emma Cope wrote: 'Urmm I don't want to alarm anyone but the sun is pink! Is this the end of the world?'
The Met Office is investigating several reports of the mysterious phenomenon.
A spokesman said: 'We're getting reports from Devon and Cornwall and to see this kind of report from Bristol is very interesting.
'It's something we're investigating, it could well be the cause for this.'
