It is caused when a thin layer of cirrus cloud made up of ice crystals moves across the sky.

Refraction of the light by the ice crystals causes the halo to form.

According to the Met Office, the halo can suggest that it might rain soon. 

Our camera club members and readers have been sharing their photos of the halo moon with us. Take a look at the gallery above.
