As scores of Barbadians take to social media highlighting their sightings of the halo around the sun, the Barbados Meteorological Services (BMS) assures there’s no cause for alarm.
It explained: “A halo is a ring or light that forms around the sun or moon as the sun or moon retracts off ice crystals present in a thin layer of cirrus clouds.”
The halo is usually seen as a bright, white ring although sometimes it can have colours like the one visible today, captured by Barbados TODAY‘s Shamar Blunt.
