Rainbows can be caused by many forms of airborne water. These include not only

rain, but also mist, spray, and airborne dew.

That's the first requirement ... the weather conditions: Liquid water droplets

in the air.

But that doesn't guarantee a rainbow. Here's what else you need:

-- The sun, shining in a clear sky, standing less than 42 degrees above

the horizon, behind you. If more than 42 degrees high, none of a rainbow

can be above the horizon.

-- From where your head is, the clear sun and the watery air must be

in exactly opposite directions.

Because in order to see a rainbow, the sun must be behind you, in a patch of clear blue sky, and rather low, and at the same time, the air in front of you must be laden with moisture in the form of water droplets, spray, mist, or rain. That's a restrictive set of conditions that doesn't happen during most rainstorms.
