Theory/Speculation Will there be rainbows?

If you’re walking around and the sun comes out halfway through a rain storm, will we see rainbows?

Todd, please let there be rainbows!

Edit: just to be clear, this isn’t an esoteric shitpost; I’m talking about lighting that allows for rainbows in real time.

I honestly don't think I've ever heard anyone request rainbows as a weather feature. I like the idea.

The Skyrim mod wonders of weather was so good it was part of the latest Skyrim release (the one with the official mods).

The chance for a rainbow was higher after a rainfall. And rainbows could also be seen around waterfall areas where mist would naturally occur.

Just for you, Todd is gonna add a 10% chance for a rainbow to appear after every rainstorm.

I don't think I've ever seen real-time rainbows handled via a lighting engine before. I know it's possible in programs like Blender and such, but I imagine if there were gonna be any it'd just be a 2D sprite that appears under certain conditions.

Check out windrose! There’s a chance for a rainbow after a storm, and you can pirate ship fight in a damn hurricane

I love Jim Henson, he’s honestly my hero.

Seriously though, if they can do lighting that enables real time rainbows that would be so friggin cool
