Atmospheric Phenomena 
I drove to work in serein this morning; a lovely, mystical – and very rare – experience! 😀
Actually, if anybody has knowledge/an opinion of serein and its potential origin/existence, then I’d like to hear about it! This morning was just post-dawn with a cloudless sky that lasted another 9hrs before we had a change of weather (rain) in my local area. I can tell you that there was a clear blue sky, no mist, no haze to speak of (very slightly apparent on the horizons) and light low-level wind (also, T=2C, give or take). The water droplets appeared as a kind of light drizzle (estimated diameter ~0.1mm) and fell heavily enough to make me clear my windscreen about every 15s or so. My first thoughts, involving dewpoint calculations, I discarded on the grounds that some form of mist/fog would form as, generally speaking, the water droplets would start to cohere before they got big enough to hit my windscreen as fine but discrete tiny splats. However, it was a sunny morning! All opinions are welcome, especially as this is my first experience of serein. If I hadn’t been driving, there would be photos and possibly some measurements… 😉

Hello. Not my observation but this is a news article i came across.

I think it might be a reflection bow but the article seems to be confusing this with a tertiary bow.
