Does it mean it is likely to rain? A halo can, and often does, give a clue about approaching weather. A halo is formed when high, thin clouds move overhead creating the halo effect. These high clouds are composed of ice crystals which reflect the moon’s light. Because a warm front always moves in overhead before its mass passes over the im mediate surface directly before the leading edge, one can often detect its approach, either in daylight or at night. At night the high clouds pro ducing the halo produce a sign of probable rain. And during most of the year the approach of a warm front will mean noticeably warmer weather ahead. So the halo often does mean that rain and warmer weather are on the way. It is one of the sky signs which can be read by careful ob servers—though it is not an infallible forecaster.
