Rainbows and Orange Skies: Why the Weather Is So Colorful Now
As autumn approaches in the Netherlands, shorter days and moist air create colorful weather in September and October, with rainbows, halos, and vivid sunrises and sunsets. Moist air and a low sun, common in autumn, result from the sea’s slow cooling, keeping temperatures high despite shorter days. This combination filters sunlight, producing red, pink, purple, orange, and yellow hues. The coming week will see temperatures between 20-25°C, rain, and rapidly shortening days, enhancing these colorful phenomena.
