Dazzling pink sky seen over Birmingham in Storm Goretti snowfall

  • On January 09, 2026, aerial views showed pink light from grow lights at Birmingham City Football Club as heavy snow fell during Storm Goretti across Birmingham.
  • BBC weather presenter Simon King said falling snow and low cloud made the sky more reflective, scattering light during Storm Goretti, the first named storm of 2026.
  • Aerial and ground photos showed the stadium's LED grow lamps glowing toward the camera, with pictures nearer St Andrew's revealing brighter pinks aimed at the ground source.
  • Public reaction coincided with storm-related outages affecting around 60,000 premises, as residents and social media users posted widespread pictures and questions about the pink sky.
  • Hednesford Town Football Club reported a similar LED glow, caused by pitch lights, amid nine warnings including red and amber alerts issued by the Met Office for the Midlands, Wales, and northern England.
