Yorkshire currently holds the title for the longest rainbow on record, lasting an impressive six hours. But there’s a new rainbow on the scene – and it could smash that figure into a pot of gold if confirmed by the Guinness World Record authorities. Sorry England – Taiwan weather has sprinted up behind with what is allegedly a nine-hour rainbow. It began on November 30, and stayed hanging in the sky all day, according to researchers at the Chinese Culture University in Taipei. They were so excited that they photographed it from all angles to collect evidence that they should beat the previous record, which was set 23 years ago. It spanned almost the entire city of Taipei.

Professor Liu Ching-hwang with the university’s Department of Atmospheric Sciences said the record-breaking rainbow appeared at around 7:15am in the morning and lasted until after 4pm Taipei time.
