Rainbow is listed as normal weather. Rainbow Moon is a separate night state with seed drops and a reported six-percent moon chance.
Evidence boundary
No official public feed found

Grow a Garden 2 weather FAQ
Does this page show live Grow a Garden 2 weather?
No. No official public weather feed was found, so the page does not invent a live state or countdown. Select the event you can see in game to get a preparation checklist.
How long does Lightning last in Grow a Garden 2?
Reviewed community sources conflict: one table says five minutes, while two dated June guides say two minutes and thirty seconds. Both claims remain visible until stronger evidence resolves them.
Are Rainbow weather and Rainbow Moon the same?
The reviewed tables describe them separately. Rainbow weather is reported as a five-minute boosted Rainbow window by two sources, while Rainbow Moon is a two-minute night state associated with Rainbow Seeds and a six-percent moon-table claim.
Can weather mutations stack?
Sources disagree about mutation rules and multipliers. This weather page does not calculate stacking; use the separate mutation audit to compare the published models before pricing a crop.
