2009 - local resident Mike Clydesdale reported an unusual weather phenomenon on 24th September 2009 observed from Pettitts Close at around 4.00pm. "It was like an upside down rainbow and had an attendant "sun dog" (another slight rainbow effect) to its side. These are rare phenomena caused by the refraction of sun rays through ice crystals in the Cirrus cloud" said Mike. Mike has kindly allowed us to publish his pictures below, although he states they do not do justice to the phenomenon.
