A video showing what is termed the "green cloud" in the sky over the city of Taif, Saudi Arabia, has gone viral on social media. The Kingdom is experiencing a period of atmospheric instability accompanied by heavy rainfall in several regions. Meteorologist Ziad Al-Jahani and weather news pages have shared videos depicting this cloud, which has sparked public interaction.
The green cloud is a rare phenomenon that occurs in the sky when certain particles in the atmosphere reflect sunlight in a specific way, giving it a dark green or blue color.
