If you were up early enough this morning you would have seen the colourful sunrise which lit the region's sky up in shades of red, yellow and orange.
And many people couldn't help but take a photos with hundreds of pictures being shared across social media of this weather phenomenon.
The heightened colour was caused by high pressure from the south east leading to a clear sky and cloud coverage to the north west of the region.
This meant the sun was reflected off the clouds to the north and due to the clear skies the sunrise was more visible than usual.
The clear skies also caused aeroplane contrails to become very apparent with the trails creating cloud-like criss-crosses across the sky which made the sunrise look even more spectacular.
