What an odd coincidence. Isn’t it?
A recent unusual cloud formation in Southern China is going viral on the internet, but they are only getting part of the story.
In Puning City, in China’s southern Guangdong Province, a beautiful, iridescent pileus cloud was seen.
A pileus cloud, sometimes called a cap or scarf cloud, is formed when an updraft with a puffy cumulus cloud meets cooler moisture above it, which causes condensation to form and create these misty rings above the clouds. When the sun is in the right place, refraction and iridescence can also occur in these clouds.
