As explained by the local historian Ivan Tsygani, the rainbow was considered a good sign by the old men, as evidenced by its local name – “rainbow”.
“It was believed that this natural phenomenon would bring joy to those who saw it. As for the autumn rainbow, and even in November, I personally have never seen such a thing … They write that it is before the warm rainy weather, “he said.
The rainbow is an optical phenomenon in the atmosphere associated with the refraction and reflection of sunlight in water droplets. A rainbow is one, two or more multicolored arcs observed against a cloud if it is located against the sun.
The rainbow usually appears in late spring and summer after rain. It is almost impossible to see a rainbow in late autumn and winter, it is a rare phenomenon.
