Instead of what you could see when you peek out the window, green sky sound like the setting for a science fiction movie. But on Tuesday, July 5, folks in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, saw precisely that. The sky turned a vivid green, a naturally occurring but rare event. Look at the pictures that individuals took of the scene to get a sense of the shocking impact of this sight.

The Sioux Falls skyline is frequently obscured by an acid-green sky in these bizarre pictures. While many internet trolls made jokes about how this meant the end of the world was near, a NWS meteorologist graciously provided some scientific clarification. According to Cory Martin’s infographic, “Water/ice particles in storm clouds with sufficient depth and water content will mostly scatter blue light.” “The blue water/ice droplets in the cloud will seem to glow GREEN when the reddish light reflected by the atmosphere illuminates them. This color typically indicates a significant amount of ice (big hail), as it requires a significant amount of water content within the cloud to achieve.

Therefore, the vivid green sky South Dakotans witnessed on Tuesday most likely came before a powerful thunderstorm that produced a lot of hail. Fortunately, before the sky cleared once more, someone captured its amazing aspect.

Though extremely unusual to see, it is not a post-apocalyptic scene.

Ice’s ability to scatter light is what gives the sky its green hue.

Pics of the green sky from my family in Sioux Falls have been incredible! Had to dig up this fun green cloud infographic I made back in the day. Hail reports not too large at the moment, but storms are very moisture loaded in this warm, tropical environment. #SDwx #IAwx pic.twitter.com/S39JLSRfEu

It usually means there is a lot of ice or hail in the sky when it is this green.
