It's 4:30 p.m. in south california (right by LA) and the sky and sun is RED! When you I stepped outside there was a reddish/ orange glow on my face, and the whole backyard/ pool-side also had a reddish tint. I looked down, and my shadow was an almost translucent blue! So bizzarre!
I looked up and there was a giant brownish red cloud in front of the sun (that's why everything's tinted) but other than that the sky is a clear blue. Why is that? I don't think it's pollution because I've never seen it in my life, and I've been to much more polluted places that this. Is it some weird gas?

I'm sure it's not sunset. It's 4:30, summer, and the sun doesn't set until 8:00. This is very weird.

There is a giant brush fire in the hills. I heard on the news that the governor has declared a state of emergency.

Hello! It is probably smoke. You have had a lot of bush fires in California. It will be dust particles increasing the sun's light, and casting that red color. It happens a lot in Australia.

Its either a sunset or fire. The atmosphere refracts the sun's light , or the smoke of fire is messing it up.

Just the sunlight reflecting off particles in the atmosphere.
