Light coming from the sun comes in various colors, or wavelengths. Longer wavelengths (redder colors) are able to penetrate further through things like dust, or in this case the clouds that make up the storm. So the light that reaches the ground, and is bouncing off things for your eyes to see, skews redder than what we’re used to, and things look “warmer” in color tone as a result.
