Best Answer

In order to see a rainbow, you must have the sun behind you in clear sky, and rain or heavy mist in the air in front of you. If it's raining on you, then most likely the sun is not in clear sky behind you, and you can't see very far in front of you.

Why isn't there a rainbow during most rain storms?

There are a few reasons why a rainbow may not be seen after a storm. If there are clouds blocking the sunlight, no rainbow will appear. Additionally, your location may interfere with your ability to see a rainbow because a rainbow is only viewable from certain angles. While it might be raining on you there may not enough humidity in the surrounding area to make a rainbow appear. Where I live (West Texas) we get rain but it may be so dry in the surrounding area that no rainbow appears.
