White rainbow in the Havelland: This is how the spectacular phenomenon is created!

An impressive weather phenomenon amazed the residents of Premnitz in the Havelland on Tuesday: a rare, white rainbow - also known as a fog arch - appeared in the sky in the morning. ARD weather expert Alexander Rudolph explained that this fascinating sight is created by tiny water droplets in the air that brings the light similar to a colorful rainbow. The decisive difference? The drop size! While rainbows made of larger drops of colors make colors visible in spectral nuances, the smaller drops of the fog make the colors merge together, which only makes the light appear white for the human eye.

But it could become even crazy! According to Rudolph, there is the possibility that larger drops form on the edge of the fog, which may make colors visible. This rare event was amazed and curiosity among the residents and draws attention to the fascinating secrets of the weather phenomena that nature offers us.
