As I was driving to work today it was overcast and the clouds were all multicoloured. I have never seen anything like it before. Then thoughts of multi coloured clouds threads entered my mind. I thought the idea a strange until I saw them this morning.
Anyone else in Brissy see them?
Is some kind of natural disaster imminent in Brisbane or am I just having some kinds of flashback from a less savory period of my life?

can you get any pics of the clouds? They could be "water-dogs", or maybe even something else.. without a picture of the clouds, it is impossible to know..

Hope you don't have an earthquake!

Settle petel the only thing we have to worry about is floods,cyclones and drop bears. I can still give you refuge when rex 84 takes hold,you just better be a good swimmer.


I have never in my life seen rainbow clouds, no doubt they exist. But I will back up VIKINGANT with the fact the clouds in brisbane have been grey and thick for the last couple days. I cant imagine the sun being able to penetrate these clouds to be able to form the light source for the rainbow effect. Would a ground light source be able cause such an effect?

I live in Scotland and a good few years ago i and my family saw multi-coloured clouds, it was completely over-cast and the base of all the clouds in the sky were all the colours of the rainbow. I have struggled to find out what this is or why it occurrs. The clouds were just normal clouds at a height of about 1000m. Can anyone tell me what this is, basically the entire clouded sky was multi-coloured.

Its called iridescence

It occurs when sunlight refracts of water droplets and ice crystals in the atmosphere. Its a completely normal phenomenen and works in the same principal as a rainbow does...just without rain

Rainy this morning, went for walk but couldn't see any coloured clouds.

Big ups and props for Brisvegas! If only we got some UFO flaps.. meh!
