Despite the controversy, experts were quick to weigh in. According to Scott Cordero, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, the strange purple skies are a natural phenomenon. “The colors result from a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering,” Cordero told Newsweek. He explained that molecules and small particles in the atmosphere scatter light rays, causing this striking visual effect, particularly at sunset when hurricane clouds are involved.

While experts dismiss the conspiracy theories, Hurricane Milton’s unusual weather has certainly left an impression, sparking both awe and suspicion across social media.
