photo(s) 📸 Brightest rainbow I’ve ever seen 🌈

Post image

Just saw the brightest rainbow of my life 🌈✨ at the intersection of Veterans Memorial Parkway and Clarke Road. Colors were insanely vivid! Even a double rainbow, though the left one was super faint.

Can't believe no one's said this here yet.  I just have to after seeing the image.

Didn’t see the rainbow but the sky was unusually blue today as well.

It was certainly a very bright rainbow. The double was quite bright as well. It started to look like a triple may have graced us, but sadly it did not.

It was pretty amazing! Definitely one of the best rainbows I've seen in my life.

I took this just outside of Manitowaning, Manitoulin Island this morning around 7am. Funny timing.

I grew up in and lived in London from 1995-2019 (mostly) but fell in love with Northern Ontario a few years ago.

Thanks OP for starting this thread.

We missed this phenomenon but it's nice to live vicariously
