We’ve been seeing more rainy days this month as there’s been a shift in weather patterns following weeks of scorching heat.
After a bout of rain on Wednesday (17 Aug), Singaporeans were in for a treat as a rare double rainbow was spotted across the island.

As the day faded into dusk, the spectacle was a delight for weary workers who survived another hump day.
If this phenomenon is any indication of what the weekend might have in store for us, we’re in for a good one.
Shutterbugs wasted no time in snapping photos of this rare sight to share in the CloudSpotting & SkySpotting Singapore Facebook group.

After the rain soaks the camera lens, a beautiful double rainbow sweeps over the Singapore National Stadium.
As the rainbow fades away, the gloomy colours eventually make way for bright blue skies, bathing the area in the glow of the golden hour.
As hectic as things can get in Singapore, this is a reminder to stop and smell the roses — or in this case, look up and admire the rainbow.

With more thundery showers expected till the end of the month, the next occurrence probably isn’t too far off.
