In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, it’s very rare to see a rainbow, as there’s only a 3.72% chance of this sight to occur on your island throughout a year. Aside from a rainbow, you may also have a rare chance of seeing a double rainbow.
Since seeing double rainbows is very rare, many players are wondering what they mean and why they appear in the sky. If you are also curious about the presence of a double rainbow in the sky on your island, let’s find out about it through our post below!
What Does a Double Rainbow Mean?
A Double rainbow appears as one bright rainbow with another that is slightly fainter. If you look deeply, they are inverted rainbows that are located directly above a rainbow. Many players of Animal Crossing also do not know why a double rainbow suddenly appears in the sky.
As a Reddit user ThotRamen stated on the forum that he didn’t know that rainbows could appear and obtained a double rainbow. Other Reddit users also didn’t know why a double rainbow suddenly appears and what they mean.
Unfortunately, none can explain what a double rainbow means, unless one rainbow. Well, if you see one rainbow in the sky, it means that you will have the chance of 100 Bells dropping from trees will be increased. But, if you see a double rainbow in the sky, it is not reported that you will have the chances of doubles (200) Bells dropping from trees is increased.
As far as we know, there’s no single source that explains what a double rainbow means on your island. However, if you see either one rainbow or a double rainbow at the same time, you can consider yourself really lucky.
Well, if you ever see the amazing scenery of the rainbow in the sky on your island, you have to take a picture and add it to your collection in the game. Of course, double rainbows are very rare in both New Horizons and real life. Last but not least, the double rainbows are also a reference to a popular 2010 meme. Well, it can be the high possibility of an individual to experience the double rainbow for the very first time in his life.
When Does a Double Rainbow Appear in the Sky?
As we’ve mentioned, either one rainbow or two rainbows will suddenly appear in the sky during the day, unless at night. However, there’s a specific time when the rainbow will most likely appear on your island.
Just like in real life, rainbows will only appear following hours of heavy rainfall. After many hours of rainfall and the sky has cleared suddenly, this is the exact time that the rainbows will suddenly appear with more common between 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Furthermore, the rainbows do not occur if the sky clears gradually. They also don’t occur at night. Generally, they will more likely occur once a thunderstorm ends suddenly than any other form of precipitation. Well, rainbows will be more common in the afternoon, since they always come after many hours of rainfall.
According to some sources, the rainbow season commonly begins on February 25 and ends on November 25, meaning in the whole of winter, the rainbow will not appear at all. The rainbows will stay for one hour in the sky that will start off week before achieving peak brightness and then fading away.
The rainbow will begin weak, before brightening as the hour progresses and it will peak at its brightest at about half past the hour. From this point and forward, before the rainbow is completely gone by the beginning of the next hour, it will tend to fade away slowly.
