Days of solar halo and parhelion in Roses

In Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia these photographs were taken in the morning in Roses from the Santa Margarita breakwater.

You can see a solar halo that frames the mountain and a completely calm sea, there are no waves so it seems that we are facing a lake.

In the other image, in addition to the halo, a parhelion can be seen. Both are meteorological optical phenomena that, because they are shared many times, I get tired of photographing.

Solar halos sometimes usually indicate a change of time. They usually form when there are high clouds made up of ice crystals and indicate that there is moisture in the upper layers of the atmosphere.

The intensity with which we perceive the halo depends on the number of ice crystals and how they are arranged.

Since yesterday the weather forecast told us about a rise in temperature that could break records on the peninsula, however it seems that in Catalonia the Mediterranean area is not going to be so affected, since the sea water temperature is still cold .
