The "rainbow" was caused by a circumzenithal arc, where ice crystals in the higher atmosphere refract sunlight depending on the angle of the sun, creating this bright and colorful bow in the sky.

Heavy rain from 02 February caused 2 landslides along the Yolosita-Caranavi highway in Caranavi Province, burying several vehicles. Local authorities said that at least 16 people died and 53 were injured.
Rain in the area has also caused the overflow of the Coroico and Yara rivers. Flooding has been reported in 11 districts of the city of Caranavi, in particular La Costanera and 13 de Diciembre, prompting evacuations.
Schools have been closed in affected areas and a disaster emergency declared by the provincial government.
Some of Rio's most iconic neighbourhoods, including tourist hot-spots like Ipanema and Copacabana, were battered by winds of up to 110 kilometres per hour (68 mph) on Wednesday night, with precarious hillside favelas hit by mudslides that closed roads.
At least five people died, with one more person potentially killed in a bus that was hit by a mudslide, Rio's mayor, Marcelo Crivella, told local news media.
"It was a lot of water that ended up causing this tragedy," Crivella said. "It was unexpected."
Big floods in Busovača, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Milder weather has been witnessed following last month's sub-zero conditions. In the space of 24 hours, temperatures jumped from 0C to 15C, causing snow to melt rapidly and trigger floods in central parts of the country.
Zenica and Kakanj, towns in central Bosnia, declared a state of emergency as streets in some neighborhoods were inundated by water and rescue services began evacuating people from their homes on rubber boats.
Schools in the most affected areas of central Bosnia were also forced to stay shut on Monday.
The babies have spent the first days of life in an incubator at Al-Thawra hospital, Yemen
The twins, Abdul-Khaliq and Abdul-Rahim, were born in January joined at the neck down, a condition known as parapagus dicephalus.
The rare phenomenon doesn't leave much hope for the survival of the babies.
They have spent their first days of life in an incubator in intensive care at Al-Thawra hospital, in Sana'a.
Doctors predict their health will decline unless they can be saved and moved away from the war-striken country.

Roy Spencer, principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, posted a graphic of November-March cold waves in the East and Midwest dating back to 1895 that flies in the face of the "global warming causes extreme cold" argument.
The theory has it that the decline of Arctic sea ice, which has dropped by about 15 percent over the last 40 years, has disrupted the polar vortex, causing it to move southward, but the data assembled by Mr. Spencer and UAH professor of atmospheric science John Christy showed otherwise.
Comment: One of the problems with so-called 'climate science' is its myopic obsession with a very narrow range of planetary influences (greenhouse gases, arctic ice, etc.). It's not a surprise then that most skeptic reactions also focus on these same issues in describing how 'there is nothing to see here' because the climate alarmists are so wrong.
The problem is there actually is much more to see and understand. Check out the links below to see how deep this rabbit hole goes:

The Almaden Reservoir
Storms in the beginning of January brought an influx of snow to the Sierra Nevada and heavy rains elsewhere in the state, boosting its water reservoirs exponentially.
Over the first three weeks of January, "47 key reservoirs that state water officials closely monitor added 580 billion gallons of water — as much as roughly 9 million people use in a year," according to the Chico Enterprise-Record. "The combined storage in the reservoirs ... has expanded 15.96 million acre feet on New Year's Day to 17.74 million acre feet now. Each acre foot is enough water to flood an acre of land a foot deep, 325,851 gallons."
