Halo Around The Sun

Halo Around The Sun

The clouds, being so high in the sky, are made from ice crystals. The properties of the ice crystals reflect and refract light in such a way as to cause a ring around the sun. Since high clouds typically proceed unsettled weather, it is said a halo around the sun means rain .
Taken on Prevost Island in the last week of June - to us it meant high winds were on the way .... and this prediction came true, and the much needed rain (sprinkles) did not come until two days ago.
