Big thanks to @willeadesphotography For sharing this beautiful image with us 🙌🏻 . . #rainbow #rainbows #facts #wednesdaywisdom #colours #weather #photography #picoftheday #beautifulIt's getting colder next week... . There's a change of air mass coming which will bring quite a contrast to the mild weather this week. . At the start of next week temperatures will be close to average initially but it will be generally much colder from Monday onwards, especially in the south. During the rest of next week it will continue cold, especially in the south, often accompanied by stiff easterly winds. Night frost are likely and could become widespread at times. Although many places could stay dry, some showers or even longer spells of rain could affect parts of the south and east, perhaps with snow, mainly on higher ground. It should be brightest and driest in the northwest. Similar conditions will probably continue into the last week of November although it could become more unsettled from the west or south. . Having put your winter woolies away this week, you'll need to dig them out again at the weekend! 🧤🧣 . . . #weather #forecast #november #temperature #cold #frost #maps #nature #science#MondayMotivation 👆. Have you ever seen a double rainbow? 🌈🌈 . Sunshine ☀️ & showers 🌦️ have created lots of rainbows today. Don't forget to add #loveukweather on your photos for a chance to be featured across our social channels. Thanks to @clareelliottk101 for this beautiful photo! . #didyouknow double rainbows are actually relatively common, especially at times when the sun is low in the sky such as in the early morning or late afternoon. The second rainbow is fainter and more 'pastel' in tone than the primary rainbow because more light escapes from two reflections compared to one. . The secondary rainbow is also dispersed over a wider area of the sky. It is nearly twice as wide as the primary bow. . A key feature of double rainbows is that the colour sequence in the second rainbow is reversed, so instead of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet (ROYGBIV), the colours appear in VIBGYOR order. . . #weather #rainbow #doublerainbow #sky #cloud #clouds #rain #nature #naturephotography #MondayMotivationArchives
