Given that the double rainbow emerged a day before Hari Raya Puasa, some might even say it’s a sign of a blessed Raya ahead.
Pre-Hari Raya double rainbow appeared in skies after 7am
Multiple users took to Facebook on Friday (21 Apr) morning to share photos they took of the rainbow in various areas.
One of the earlier sightings came Facebook user Mr Lim, who shared his snapshots in the Singapore Hikers group.
Posted at 7.19am, he wished fellow members good morning alongside five photos of the rainbow.
Although only a single rainbow is visible, it still appears fairly vibrant with a clear separation of colours.
While it was photographed next to a cluster of HDB blocks, Mr Lim did not specifically name the location.
Meanwhile, Facebook user Alvin shared his photos at 7.25am in the CloudSpotting & SkySpotting Singapore group.
In the caption, he said that despite missing the partial solar eclipse yesterday (20 Apr), he was able to catch the double rainbow.
His photos showed the phenomenon from various angles, with one stunning image showing it in its full arch glory.
