If the sun is setting, then the center of the rainbow is to the east of you, and on or slightly below the horizon ... directly opposite the sun.
The sun has to come over your shoulder to see a rainbow because if the sun is next to the rainbow it is near impossible to see. see
A rainbow is a spectrum.
when you're looking at the rainbow, the sun will be behind you.
Light rays from the sun enter suspended raindrops in the sky after a shower. The light enters the droplets and total internal reflection occurs, and the rays are reflected outward toward the sun again. In the second ray, light is dispersed into the 7 colours that are seen as the rainbow. Thus, if the sun were behind us, we would see the effect. If the sun were in front of us, the light rays would be reflected away from us, rendering the rainbow invisible to the viewer.
You put the sun directly behind you.
Sometimes there is a rainbow after a rainstorm.
A rainbow must always be in the opposite direction from you compared to the sun. So if you see a rainbow in the morning, its center would be in a generally westerly direction from you.

You only will see a rainbow if you're facing the opposite direction of the sun

A rainbow is possible whenever the sun is in a clear patch of sky and at the same time, rain is falling in the opposite direction from you.

The sun has probably been out before, and you know what sun and rain makes: a rainbow.

Rainbows are caused by backscatter. If the sun is out, and it is raining, look in the direction opposite from the sun, and you may see a rainbow.
