Yesterday Tues. May 6 at 2:00 pm …..There was a rainbow circle around the sun.It was a bright day and not raining when this occured. Did anyone see it? Does anyone know what it is called or what it means?We just called it a rainbow halo.

It’s rare to have a full rainbow around the sun. It’s caused by high levels of moisture trapped in the atmosphere and is usually followed by rain.

It’s the first time I have ever seen one like that.I have seen a lot of beautiful rainbows over the years but not around the sun like that.I was fortunate enough years ago to see 7 rainbows all at once over Lake Ontario.That was really something to see also.Love rainbows.
