Brilliant Rainbow Over Burgess Hill - Photos & Video

On Tuesday at 15:50, brilliant sunlight finally broke through the clouds during an all-too-familiar downpour. It was one of those moments that you knew there'd be a cracking rainbow somwhere in the sky.

Having just parked up at the multi-storey car park at the Martlets, I exited my motor vehicle, looked up at the sky, and sure enough there was a rainbow over St Johns Church. The ambient light was very orange.

Here's BHU's picture:



Being too close to the rainbow to capture the full arc in the frame, we had to resort to video....
