Sun Halo Arc

Saturday, July 30, 2022


This sun arc probably would have been a full halo if not for the lower altitude cumulus clouds seen toward the top of this image. The sun's interaction with high altitude cirrus clouds creates this type of phenomenon. Both images look southwest from Bowman Woods Park in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The pic above was captured at 1:56 pm CDT, Saturday, July 30, 2022, the pic below one minute later. Air temperature was 81 degrees F, dew point 61 degrees, humidity 50%, and the wind was out of the southeast. Nikon D7200 DSLR camera.
