Some users on Douyin, China’s version of TikTok, called the red sky a bad omen over China’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, The Mail reported. COVID has recently resurged in the neighboring city of Shanghai where new extreme lockdowns were implemented.
One user said it means: “Accidents will happen.” With another adding. “I started to stock up on supplies.”
Chinese local media later said the blood-red sky was caused by refraction of the lights from fishing boats.
“When weather conditions are good, more water in the atmosphere forms aerosols which refract and scatter the light of fishing boats and create the red sky seen by the public,” said the staff of the Zhoushan Meteorological Bureau, according to the Global Times.
Other users suggested the rare occurrence could have been caused by particulate matter still in the atmosphere from the Tonga Volcanic Eruption in January. NASA has found that the Tonga eruption effects even reached space.
