r...I found the technical answer to your musings...<br /><br />rainbows are rare indeed in Singapore... it has to do with the angle of lighting...<br /><br />You can only find the correct angle to create a prism effect at some quick time during the day... a few minutes in the morning and about the same in the evening.<br /><br />As the sun rises and sets quickly so close to the equator, the conditions for a rainbow are less frequently reunited than in further up north where the sun sets slowly and we have the correct angle of lighting to make it happen for a longer timemerichanhttp://www.merichan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6675180084311988900.post-33127024623026219792012-04-03T01:02:24.704+08:002012-04-03T01:02:24.704+08:00When I'm back in the UK I find the dull, grey ...When I'm back in the UK I find the dull, grey days which we get in the winter months really make the winter drag and love it when we get bright, sunny days even if it is still cold. I never have that problem in Singapore but even when it is hot and humid in the UK it is never as intense as what it is in Singapore and I guess that makes a big difference!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998722555113260012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6675180084311988900.post-29790583715644721752012-04-03T00:34:15.520+08:002012-04-03T00:34:15.520+08:00just yesterday I got such a headache from the glar...just yesterday I got such a headache from the glare of the sun. I am sure there are people who live in cloudy conditions all the time who would trade places with me in a heartbeat, but I just wouldn't be able to survive in Singapore without the air-conditioning. Right now I am suffering with the air-conditioner down....sob!
