A number of people noticed amazing rainbow coloured clouds in the sky over Ireland this morning.
The stunning clouds were pictured by people in a number of places, including Dublin and Belfast.
They are known as polar stratospheric clouds or nacreous clouds and usually appear during winter at high latitudes like Scandinavia, Iceland, Alaska and Northern Canada.
The clouds are quite rare in Ireland and are mostly visible within two hours after sunset or before dawn.
They appeared as Storm Henry continues to batter the country.
