What caused this?

I have seen this affect before but never as strongly. The glow continued from the Western Horizon, through overhead, all the way down to the Eastern Horizon. It did lose its intensity, but nevertheless it was easily visible. I felt like I was on Saturn looking outwards towards the rings!

I guess it must have been the Sun illuminating dust high in the atmosphere. It was dry and hot yesterday, like inland heat. However, given all the recent floods, I just struggle to think that it is inland dust.
