A double rainbow showed up over most parts of Singapore, just in time for the weekend.

It followed a short but fairly heavy shower in the late afternoon, after a string of particularly sunny days in the tropical island.

As a result, Singapore got a clear view of a majestic rainbow arcing over the sky, and various social media platforms were clogged with thousands of pictures of it.

Even the prime minister got involved. On Facebook, he said: "A rare double rainbow appeared yesterday evening after the downpour...Alas, I wasn’t there with my camera. Please share your own photos here!"

His post attracted hundreds of photos of the rainbow in the comments.

In most of the photos that continued to flow onto social media, many remarked that they were pleasantly surprised by the sight as they left work and school, and welcomed the weekend.
