MEXICO: It’s one of the rarest meteorological phenomenon – and beach goers were treated to the sight of it for over an hour.
An incredible ‘fire rainbow’ floated in the air over South Carolina on Sunday, thankfully lingering so that it could be photographed and posted to social media.
The phenomenon is actually a cloud formation, formally referred to as a circumhorizontal arc.
Viewers were understandably enchanted by the iridescent cloud over the Isle of Palms.
One visitor, Tracey Smith, even noted that the cloud resembled a multi-coloured angel hovering in the sky in her Instagram snap.
Tracey also said that the cloud formation lasted overhead for about an hour, reported the local 14 News.
