Double rainbow surprises the capital residents

On the afternoon of May 8, Mexico City experienced rain in several areas, causing flooding and traffic congestion. However, it also presented a natural spectacle: a large double rainbow that could be seen from different places.

On social media, numerous users shared images amazed by the appearance of the rainbow, considering it a symbol of good luck. This phenomenon was formed due to the refraction of sunlight in the raindrops, allowing the colors of the spectrum to be visible in the sky.

Rainbows, resulting from the interaction between sunlight and raindrops, display a variety of colors due to the different ways each hue refracts in the drops. From reds that slightly deviate to violets that significantly bend their trajectory, the natural spectacle surprised many inhabitants of Mexico City.

Users on social media shared their photos of the double rainbow that adorned the sky after the rain, once again demonstrating the beauty and surprises that nature can gift us in unexpected moments.
