Tourists marvel at the stunning orange sky phenomenon occurring at various landmarks in Phuket, with some believing it signals an approaching storm.
On the evening of September 23, 2024, an enchanting orange sky captivated locals and tourists in Phuket, prompting many to capture photographs at popular spots, including near the charter bank intersection. The region is currently preparing for the annual vegetarian festival from October 3 to 11, 2024, marked by the decoration of a white bear at the local police station.
While some attribute the orange and red hues in the evening sky to traditional beliefs about impending storms, others point to scientific explanations. The phenomenon occurs as sunlight passes through the atmosphere at a steep angle, traveling a longer distance compared to daylight. This allows yellow, orange, and red light to penetrate through air molecules, resulting in the visible orange sky.
