Stunning rainbow cloud formation - Cloud iridescence
Stunning rainbow cloud formation
Cloud iridescence or irisation is a colorful optical phenomenon that occurs in a cloud and appears in the general proximity of the Sun or Moon. The colors resemble those seen in soap bubbles and oil on a water surface. It is a type of photometeor. This fairly common phenomenon is most often observed in altocumulus, cirrocumulus, lenticular, and cirrus clouds. They sometimes appear as bands parallel to the edge of the clouds. Iridescence is also seen in the much rarer polar stratospheric clouds, also called nacreous clouds.
Iridescent clouds are a diffraction phenomenon caused by small water droplets or small ice crystals individually scattering light. Larger ice crystals do not produce iridescence, but can cause halos, a different phenomenon.
Irisation is caused by very uniform water droplets diffracting light (within 10 degrees from the Sun) and by first order interference effect (beyond about 10 degrees from the Sun). It can extend up to 40 degrees from the Sun.

Huge waves hitting the coast of San Sebastian, Spain sends people scattering
Huge waves hitting the coast of San Sebastian, Spain
What causes ocean waves?
Waves are caused by energy passing through the water, causing the water to move in a circular motion.
Looking out at the ocean, you often see a seemingly infinite series of waves, transporting water from one place to the next. Though waves do cause the surface water to move, the idea that waves are travelling bodies of water is misleading.
Waves are actually energy passing through the water, causing it to move in a circular motion.

What is a nocturnal tornado? Weather experts say it’s twice as deadly
Nocturnal tornadoes, as the name suggests, are tornadoes that occur overnight. Generally, tornadoes that occur during these hours are less common or less severe than their evening or daytime counterparts — but they’re twice as likely to kill, the NOAA has found.
“Nocturnal tornadoes are difficult to forecast, difficult to see (and therefore confirm), and difficult to respond to because much of the population is asleep when they occur,” reads the report

Cargo ship gets hit by a huge sandstorm in the Suez Canal
Cargo ship gets hit by a huge sandstorm in the Suez Canal
A dust storm, also called a sandstorm, is a meteorological phenomenon common in arid and semi-arid regions. Sandstorms arise when a gust front or other strong wind blows loose sand and dirt from a dry surface. Fine particles are transported by saltation and suspension, a process that moves soil from one place and deposits it in another
The arid regions of North Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and China are the main terrestrial sources of airborne dust. It has been argued that poor management of Earth's drylands, such as neglecting the fallow system, are increasing the size and frequency of sandstorms from desert margins and changing both the local and global climate, as well as impacting local economies

Hailstorms turns the Saudi desert white
Hailstorms turns the Saudi desert white
Hail is a form of solid precipitation.[1] It is distinct from ice pellets (American English "sleet"), though the two are often confused. It consists of balls or irregular lumps of ice, each of which is called a hailstone. Ice pellets generally fall in cold weather, while hail growth is greatly inhibited during low surface temperatures.
Estimating Hail Size
Hail size is often estimated by comparing it to a known object. Most hailstorms are made up of a mix of different sizes, and only the very largest hail stones pose serious risk to people caught in the open. When reporting hail, estimates comparing the hail to a known object with definite size are good, but measurements using a ruler, calipers, or a tape measure are best.
