Altocumulus radiatus indicates instability at mid-atmospheric levels and often signaling approaching stormy weather. This was true in this case as Bernhard indicated that it rained only two hours later, near the English Garden, Munich, Germany.

Wonderful John! You’ve captured a lovely image of nature’s magic.
arcobaleno interrotto!
Hello Beate, it was between Leeds and Manchester
I love the split rainbow!
Such a great photo, John! So much going on – Britain running off in what looks like a hurry, the storm clouds hovering above, and the bow pierced by the rays. Where is the UK is that, can you say?
The cloud formation on the left of the photo looks a wee bit like the map of the British Isles, though what would be Scotland seeems to be nodding off. A very good image!

Oh so very sweet. Great shot John.
Another stunning image, John!
