A multi-coloured scarf cloud was spotted above a city in southern China.
The incredible video was filmed in the city of Haikou in Hainan Province on August 21.
The scarf cloud, also known as a pileus, is formed by the cooling and condensation of moist air forced up and over the peak. When the sunlight is at the right angle, the light diffracts between the droplets and the ice crystals in the cloud, creating a rainbow colour.
