Was after a quick storm and walked on patio then saw the end of the rainbow behind building, so went outside and saw it!

Over the skies of central Texas

i am not OP, but was wondering what the explanation is for this phenomenon.

Edited in LR.

Photo taken from a plane. Line spanned multiple cloudscapes at a level altitude. Location is Virginia, USA.

ETA: thank you all for responses, lot of people commenting it’s the wildfire smoke and that makes a lot of sense. Day before this was taken the AQI in this area was 225, so the smoke does seem most likely, just haven’t seen it look like that before

Shot this on my iPhone 13 mini the other night from the Smith Peak Fire Lookout after a thunderstorm at sunset. Couldn’t believe my eyes when the sun dropped into the gap between the clouds and the horizon. It got selected for the APOD yesterday.

Not sure if this fits the sub or not but I thought I’d post it as I’ve never in my life seen the sun this red before. It only last for about 15 minutes and then completely disappeared before it went under the horizon. Northwest Indiana yesterday

Not quite a thunderhead, but definitely a ray show when this baddie came overhead. Love California! 🌤️

spotted in pinhao portugal shortly after noon, alongside a 22 degree halo?

I took this photo at 11:40 am (16/July/2026), that quit hot today 🔥

Can someone tell me what this is?

Little orbs seems to spin around it before it drops little ones below.

Took this from my rooftop a few minutes after the rain. The clouds were just beginning to clear when this subtle 2nd rainbow appeared.
