For background, I was on a tour coming back from Ballestas Islands just off of Peru, around 11:00 a.m., no rain (it’s a desert area), sky was partly cloudy. The phenomenon stayed a couple of minutes. As we progressed, the colours merged to a strand of amber.
Thanks a bunch. Are they more common in hot countries? Never seen them in Canada.
Am Canadian. Have seen them. It’s more about altitude than lattitude.
Edit: Spend a little bit of every day looking at the sky. Day or night, it’s often magnificent.
I see them in the Midwest quite regularly. If you’re outside enough, you see them.
Last night’s sky was especially amazing.
Aurora?
What part of Canada? If west coast, probably the clouds are just typically too low and thick.
