Fogbow or Ghost Rainbow seen in Watten

  • 8 months ago
After a spectacular rainbow over Watten on Saturday afternoon, a ghost rainbow, or fogbow, was seen in the same position on Monday, January 8.

The dry and cold conditions in Caithness led to a blanket of freezing fog across the county along with strong sunshine which helped create the phenomenon, seen around 1pm.
