Weather - Rainbow Proverb

Rainbow to winward, foul fall the day.
Rainbow to leeward, rain runs away!

  • This old seafarer's saying about rainbows is certainly worth remembering because it is almost infallibly true.
  • If a rainbow should appear behind or with the direction of the prevailing wind, then you can expect that its curtain of moisture will reach you.
  • But if the rainbow appears to the lee of the wind, then you that the has allready passed and the gray line of showers is receeding , moving away from you!
