Spotted all around Singapore

These iridescent clouds are also sometimes known as rainbow clouds or fire rainbows.

They usually appear in the late afternoon on very hot and humid days as they form on top of cumulus clouds (those big fluffy clouds).

Some is condenses of the air that gets push upwards condense into tiny water droplet to form a thin ring of cloud that scatter sunlight to form rainbow .
