What’s the Best Place to See Rainbows? Science Says It’s Hawaii

A new study has suggested that Hawaii is the best place on Earth to experience the wonder of rainbows. These multicolored meteorological phenomena are caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky in a circular arc, and the study maintains that Hawaii is the rainbow capital of the world.

Hawaii’s unique combination of trade winds, cumulus clouds, mountainous terrain, and clean air all give it the perfect climate for rainbow making.

“With the exception of some volcanic haze, we have a very clean atmosphere here because we’re so far away from pollution sources,”

“And that results in very strong sunshine that produces a brilliant rainbow.”
