Halo Around The Sun

 

What makes today super amazing is seeing Mr. Sun with a colorful ring - a halo as what people mostly refer to especially scientists. Based from the researched I've made, a halo around the sun means there are thin cirrus clouds that are drifting high above about 20,000 feet and that there's a nearby storm coming.
 
I was able to capture the beautiful sun with a colorful halo like a rainbow today at around 10:28 AM.
 
According to the old weather saying, if you see a ring around the sun it only means that sooner or later expect for the rain to come. This is true because high cirrus clouds formation basically comes before it rains. Such cirrus clouds then contains millions of tiny ice crystals all the while the halo around the sun is actually caused by refraction, reflection, splitting of light and/or the glints of light from the ice crystals.
