Residents of Nizhny Novgorod observed light pillars in the sky.
Residents of Nizhny Novgorod observed an unusual phenomenon last night. Light pillars appeared in the sky. Eyewitnesses are sharing photographs on social media.
Recall that this phenomenon has been observed in the region before. Usually light pillars in the sky occur in severe frost in the absence of wind and with high air humidity. Flat ice crystals appear in the atmosphere, on which diffused light is reflected, for example from streetlights or the rising or setting sun.
Earlier it was reported that the weather forecast for the end of December had been released.
