| | | Sun Dog?
Did anyone else notice the partial "sun dog" last evening, in the south of England? I think that is what they are called, although it may be an American name and we call them something different. At between approx 18:30 and 19:15 hrs there were some high, thin clouds and either side of the setting sun there were two bright patches like truncated rainbows. We have never noticed this phenomenon before.

Jim reported something similar in Watford yesterday, but a little earlier.

Yes, I saw this last night, but only noticed one rather than 2. We are in Cornwall. Funnily enough I wouldn't have normally been outside at that time, but hubby had to get up on the roof to fit a new cowl to our chimney and I was holding the ladder! |
