But it is not only in Trøndelag it is rare værfenomenet turns out.
But also multiple places in Nordland, you can see special perlemorskyene. And you must believe the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, is not the timing random.
– the Chance is greatest to see these clouds when the sun is low in the sky, so it makes the most of the places in Nordland now, ” explains Odd-Ivar Olsen at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute.
He says that they’ve got pictures of the colorful clouds from the people in several places in the county, and admits that the chance to see them don’t present themselves too often.
What separates perlemorskyer from regular clouds, is that perlemorskyene consists of tiny ice crystals, and this is the reason that will look like they do-
When the sun shines through these surrounding ice crystals so the reflected sunlight in the cloud, ” he explains.
He explains that the clouds are in the stratosphere, i.e. the higher in the sky than normal clouds. They do also the rest of the year, but then is not the sun properly positioned that you can see them.
– Thus, it can be a good idea to lift your gaze up toward the sky, while still visible, encourage him.
