SUMMARY
The forum discussion centers around the observation of three supernumerary bows within a primary rainbow, attributed to the uniformity of raindrop sizes during Sunday afternoon storms. Participants express excitement over this phenomenon, highlighting its rarity and beauty. Additionally, a mention of a full double rainbow observed the previous day emphasizes the area's favorable conditions for such optical displays.
