No one can deny that weather is unpredictable. It is something which we are at the mercy of, despite our greatest efforts as modern humans to control everything. Weather will always be there to shake things up, sometimes catastrophically, other times inspiringly. If you’ve ever experienced a spellbinding natural phenomenon, you can sympathize with ancient cultures which bowed down to natural forces like rain, sunshine, and natural disasters. From the moment humans began peering into the skies, we have been obsessed with trying to explain what makes the rainfall and the sunshine. While most of us have a fairly good grasp on how weather works, we’re here to guide you through some of the more seemingly supernatural weather phenomena which you may be unfamiliar with. Prepare to be blown away!
You will be very amazed at how you didn’t know when it comes to climate marvels. As phenomenal as these incredible stunts of nature may seem, it is important to remember that we all share the same earth with each other, and that you may one day end up experiencing them yourself! Strap yourself in, we’re going extreme weather chasing!
37. Halo
Have you ever gazed into the paradise, and felt like there really is something divine about the sky and sun? You may have been staring into what is known as a “halo”, which looks like a dazzling rainbow ring around the sun.
Scarily, halos are often signs that intense storms are on the way, but this is more of a superstition than an exact science. To make this phenomenon more scientific-sounding, you can also refer to halos as cirrostratus clouds. These clouds are made up of countless minute ice crystals which mirror sunlight in an angelic ring shape.
