Monday morning, July 5, 2021 likely saw plenty of Singapore residents struggle to get out of bed as the weather was chilly and everyone's beds comforting.

Outside though, a storm was brewing over some parts of the island and those awake then who live to tell said it looked like Gotham City.

Two rainbows were visible after the sunshine broke through again, as seen from Dakota.

The double rainbows appeared just as the rain subsided and the clouds cleared to reveal blue skies.
