Climate change will increase opportunities to see rainbows, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of Hawai'i (UH) at Manoa. The study's authors estimate that by 2100, the average land location on Earth will experience about 5% more days with rainbows than at the beginning of the 21st century. Northern latitudes and very high elevations, where warming is predicted to lead to less snow and more rain, will experience the greatest gains in rainbow occurrence. However, places with reduced rainfall under climate change such as the Mediterranean are projected to lose rainbow days.
