'Rainbow cloud' over western Palm Beach County
The rainbow cloud Tuesday evening.
By Palm Beach Business.com
BOYNTON BEACH – If you looked to the west around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday evening, you would have seen this — a pileus cloud formed over the sun creating a rainbow effect. A pileus is basically a cap over another cloud caused by a column of rising air. Severe thunderstorms in the western parts of Palm Beach County were the source for this cloud; Ice crystals in the cloud refracted the light from the late evening sun and made one spectacular sight to behold.
The pileus cloud above the nature center at Green Cay in suburban Boynton Beach.
