Forecasters are like politicians, believe none of what they say.
80% of the time they are only guessing. The 20% of the time they are right it’s just because they guessed correctly.
Last Sunday was a perfect example. Forecast was for showers LATE in the day. I got set up by 8AM, by 11AM it was raining and never stopped all day. Washed all the paint I’d put up right off the building. I can’t tell U how many times this happens during the course of the summer.
Maybe they should have term limits of weather forecasters also.
