Rare 'rainbow clouds' spotted in UK skies

  • Rare "rainbow clouds" have been spotted in the skies above the UK, with residents in Scotland and Derbyshire capturing and sharing photos of the phenomenon.
  • The clouds are considered rare due to the very specific conditions needed for them to appear, such as thin clouds containing numerous water droplets or ice crystals, causing the air to expand and cool.
  • These iridescent clouds, often referred to as "mother-of-pearl," form at high altitudes and are usually seen alongside thunderstorms in the late afternoon on hot and humid days.
