Sun Halos 07/05/23

Towards sunset this caused a bit of interest during our street party in Southampton on the 7th May. A 22-degree sun halo plus an upper tangent arc. I had to look it up! And off to the side an associated supralateral arc which looked like a rainbow. And I had to check for any showers on rain radar just to be sure. These are simple smartphone snaps.

Nicely spotted. Supralateral arcs are fairly few and far between. I think the last one I spotted was 5+ years ago.
