Rainbow clouds are an incredibly rare phenomenon, resembling a multicolored cloud that appears and disappears in a brief moment.
The brilliant colors of rainbow clouds primarily appear in summer when outdoor temperatures are very high, exceeding 58 degrees Celsius. Cumulonimbus clouds pile up, pushing humid air layers above to higher positions. There, they cool and condense into hexagonal ice crystals, creating a stunning landscape when sunlight shines through.
