Will it rain today - a scientific approach
This website is quite accurate when it comes to saying whether you're likely to get a soaking, although it runs 30 minutes behind the current time:

Re: Will it rain today - a scientific approach
If the weather come from the west it will rain.
If it is windy then goes cold in winter, then warms up it will snow.
Failing that always take your rain mac with you .

There is one sure method of making it rain - forget to take raincoat with you!

Not bad, but the best way in my experience is to go on a sailing holiday. It might have been blue skies for weeks, but as soon as Yours Truly arrives with telescope and book of knots, it rains. And rains... I was getting so good at this a few years ago, I gave serious thought to hiring myself out as a rainmaker.StoneRoad wrote:There is one sure method of making it rain - forget to take raincoat with you!
