Tropical summer sunset

On 06/27/2026 07:16 pm by Armando Caussade | Website | San Juan, Puerto Rico

This photo was taken looking west-northwest at 11 minutes after sunset, with the sun three degrees below the western horizon, right in the middle of civil twilight. Similar to previous images that I have shared in EarthSky Community Photos (see #80469, #79069, #67480 and #61978), this colorful display was produced by multiple layers of clouds, among which there were some scattered high clouds that tend to appear more frequently around the tropical summer here in the Caribbean.
