Minnesota Twins Game Interrupted by Rainbow Lightning

During a Minnesota Twins game on August 26, an extraordinary weather phenomenon known as rainbow lightning captivated fans at Target Field in Minneapolis. As powerful thunderstorms rolled through, the sky transformed into a vivid display of purple and red, complete with a rainbow arching overhead. The Twins' social media account shared a stunning photograph of the scene, which quickly went viral, receiving widespread acclaim from fans and observers alike. Meteorologist Dan Holley explained that rainbow lightning occurs when sunlight is refracted by water droplets during a thunderstorm. The game itself was interrupted by severe weather, leading to rain and thunderstorm warnings within the stadium. This event coincides with ongoing extreme weather conditions affecting various parts of the U.S., including heat alerts and heavy rain in New England and Alaska.
