Rare Rainbow Clouds Dazzle Indonesia Skies Go Viral Worldwide

Post by : Bianca Haleem

A breathtaking natural spectacle lit up the skies over Indonesia, where rare “rainbow clouds” left residents and social media users amazed. The vibrant colors shimmering across the clouds created a surreal, painting-like view that quickly went viral online.

Experts explain that this phenomenon, known as cloud iridescence, occurs when sunlight interacts with tiny water droplets or ice crystals in the atmosphere, bending and scattering light into a spectrum of colors.

The stunning sight was reported in areas like Jonggol, where people even paused their vehicles to capture the moment, briefly disrupting traffic. Scientists say such vivid displays are rare because they require very specific atmospheric conditions, including thin clouds and the right angle of sunlight.
