Today we find a very boring meteorological panorama in Sant Celoni, in the Vallès Oriental, recording abnormally high temperatures.
We have a sky full of thin clouds and it is not raining or windy or anything. Even so, this meteorological boredom has also given us a small respite in the form of a solar halo, which can be seen in these photographs in La Vanguardia’s Readers’ Photos shining above the roofs of buildings.
And thanks to those thin clouds, we have seen this beautiful optical phenomenon. A very large solar halo, formed by small ice crystals.
A phenomenon that, as it is easy to think, is not visible to the open eye. Although, on the other hand, it is visible through the camera.
And, although the weather is very boring this week, we are still lucky to have these great little phenomena.
The solar halo forms around the sun, presenting an iridescent ring on its outer circumference, due to ice crystals when there are high clouds.
