A spectacular sight in the sky right now... a halo around the sun... what does that mean?

Arab Weather - The phenomenon of halo formation around the sun or moon in the sky indicates the presence of high clouds in the upper layers of the atmosphere, specifically clouds known scientifically as cirrus clouds, which are thin clouds that form at high altitudes and contain fine ice crystals.

The halo phenomenon occurs as a result of the refraction and reflection of light through these ice crystals, resulting in a light circle surrounding the sun or moon, which is often remarkably visible.

Arab weather experts indicate that the appearance of this phenomenon is an indicator of an upcoming change in the weather, as it is usually associated with the advance of unstable weather systems, since these high clouds rush ahead of low-pressure systems or weather disturbances.

The halo in the sky also indicates the presence of moist air currents in the upper layers of the atmosphere, known as the jet stream, where these currents transport moisture and form high clouds.

Therefore, seeing the halo in the sky is a sign of changing weather in the following days, especially with the increased chances of thunderstorms and rainfall in some areas.

And God knows best.
