Summary
Victoria’s skies turned into a living rainbow this weekend, with iridescent clouds dazzling viewers in places like Mount Waverley and Caroline Springs. These colorful cloud displays, caused by sunlight bending through high-altitude ice crystals, are more common than you think—but rarely last long enough for most to catch. Unlike regular rainbows, they’re the result of light diffraction, not reflection, creating a shimmering, ethereal effect. Don’t confuse them with sun dogs—those are lower-altitude light pillars flanking the sun. Nature’s got a flair for surprise artistry, and sometimes it just decides to put on a show for us.
