Have you never seen a real rainbow?

[purplepoppy]

It rains a lot here this time of year and rainbows are a very common sight. Quite often we get double rainbows.

But I reckon in drier places rainbows must be a rarer sight. So I was wondering how many people have never actually seen a real rainbow first hand

I have seen a rainbow

I've never seen a rainbow

[Constatine]

Most of the people never ever seen a rainbow.

I have to explain this. They see a rainbow but they don't see it for real.

- Rainbows can only be seen at a certain angle. - Dubble rainbows al always a mirror image of each other..

- the inside of the rainbow is white.

- red is always on top..

If you know these facts... You have seen a rainbow... 😄 😋

I'm in California, which has some of the best weather in the world. Still, we DO get rain, and where there is rain and sun, there are going to be rainbows. So, yes, of course I've seen rainbows many times - even some double rainbows. This despite 300 rain-free days a year on average.

I'm in Western Australia which is made almost entirely of desert and bushland. We still see plenty of them each year- probably not as much as other places in the world since I've never seen a double rainbow, but it's definitely a universal experience

[Horse-girl]

I've seen lots of them, single, double and even straight ones.

Wisconsin...

Many a rainbow 🌈 have mine eyes beheld! a lot of doubles as well. Although rare, even triplets.. Rare reflective concentric echoes of color in the sky.

Awe some more please! Beautiful.. Thanks 4 sharing!

Ya know, as a kid I would get on my tricycle and try to find the end of a rainbow, truth.

Has anyone else done this as a young one? Try to find the end of a rainbow?

I have seen lots of rainbows, including a few of the rare double rainbows. Still looking for the pot 'o gold.

I grew up in hurricane alley. Seen many a beautiful one over some real carnage down below.

[Ameatpopsicle]

Sorry for your pain amongst beauty.

[BoopBoopBeep]

@Ameatpopsicle Appreciate the sentiment, but... you know... you get used to it. I never lost anyone so that was good.

I live near the ocean and they often are there

Not only have I seen a rainbow, my husband flew me through double rainbows.

The videos I took while he was piloting the aircraft were spectacular!

[zagor]

Not common around here. But saw a lot in Hawaii.

I think the most spectacular one I ever saw was in Vietnam.

[KostasKouvalis]

Yes, many times. I like seeing them, even though they're a bad omen for me, because every time I see one, I have some bad luck shortly after.

[NathanDavis]

we sure get some... sometimes a double rainbow

but I do live at a region in which all those storms (and some tornadoes) get cooked up... lol

[Iron_Man]

Yes, I have many times very beautiful rainbows

[Pudsmucker]

I've seen many rainbows where I live some of them might be doubled.

[AngryCarl2]

I live in the UK so yes. It rains a lot and I see a lot of rainbows.

[Mansearching]

I've seen a triple one.

[Jennz6]

[Andres77]

[Jerre]
