  • What it means is:
    Sunlight is broken into the familiar rainbow spectrum of varying-wavelength colours as it passes through the atmosphere.

    - The blue/violet end of the spectrum is diverted more than the red/orange.

    - When the sun is low in the sky, at dawn and dusk, sunlight travels through more atmosphere than at other times of day. The red wavelength is better able to go on a direct course and be reflected back off clouds, whereas the blue light is more scattered before reaching the cloud and is therefore less visible. So, we see the clouds as red as the light that is reaching them is primarily red.


    The forecast for Varna for tomorrow says it's going to be a nice clear sunny day, light breezes, good visibility with a top temp of 22*C

    :D

    Think it's supposed to be a pretty good day for most of England tomorrow. little bit of rain in the North West of England and West of Scotland, cloudy over the midlands.

    Going to be a nice day here in the IOM though :D
  • Cloudy over the midlands hey.

    Sunrise and sunsets have been great lately - I think there is more dust and aerosols in the atmosphere from some volcano which reinforces the process mentione above.

    These were the sunrises for the last two mornings here:

  • Good work SS, they`re really nice.
    Here`s the average Varna summer sunrise, small amount of cloud along the horizon. Then a cloudless day. Sometimes whe there`s no cloud at the horizon, it appears `straight out` the Black Sea. Fantastic.
    This picture is to remind me I need to spend more time there :)
