WOW what a sunrise this morning. The sky was on fire ! One of the best I have ever seen
I stopped on the way to work at 0630AM from M7 between M4 and Glendenning ( Western Sydney, Australia)
the bands of falling rain even lit up with reds and orange and turned around to the west and a nice double rainbow
Unedited other than resized down a bit

At first I thought it might be virga but the rainbow indicates that you are getting rain! Big difference from a few months ago.

Oh Man! A DOUBLE RAINBOW! Sob, sob, it's so beautiful...

and variations on that

Red sky in the morning, Shepherds ( sailors) warning
Red sky at night Shepherds ( sailors) delight

Well that sunrise yesterday morning was a warning, had some intense rain during the day
