A rather spectacular rainbow has been spotted across Singapore on the evening of June 1, the very last day of 56-day Circuit breaker period.

This rainbow, however, appeared slightly different from the typical arch for those who were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of it.

Sunset rainbow

Photos of the natural phenomenon, which have been posted across several social media platforms, show it extending straight upwards into the gorgeous evening sky.

Here's a photo of it nestled among paddlepop skies during sunset.

And more photos and videos of it at various locations. One person described it as a "straight rainbow".

Most of the photos appear to have been taken between 6pm and 7:30pm.

This shot of the rainbow in the background of Jurong Lake Garden's lallang fields is pretty serene.

One man captured this particularly lucky shot of a plane flying right through.

It is uncertain which part of Singapore he took the photo in though.

Nice.

Turns out it was a double rainbow:
