Hawaii, with its unique climatic and atmospheric conditions, has earned the title of the "Rainbow Capital of the World."
Hawaii’s weather conditions are perfect for rainbows due to regular sunshine, brief rain showers, and clean air.
Rainbows occur when raindrops refract sunlight into colors, most visible when it’s both sunny and raining.
The best time to see rainbows in Hawaii is in the morning or late afternoon when the sun is lower.
Hawaii’s trade winds bring small showers with enough breaks for sunlight, and its clean air reduces pollution that can interfere with visibility.
Research suggests that, by 2100, regions like Brazil, the Mediterranean, and parts of Central Africa may see fewer rainbows, while areas that get more rain instead of snow may have more.
