    Remember folks: weather models are based on historical data. As climate change forces weather patterns to break from their historical norms, weather predictions based on previous models will become increasingly inaccurate.

    Though the local, short term predictions shouldn’t be that affected so I have no clue why Siri tells me “it doesn’t look like it will rain today” while there’s literally rain falling outside my window…

    You guys know the weatherman only reports on the weather right? He didn’t make the predictions himself and he definitely didn’t make the weather

        The joke is not just dumb, it is inaccurate, short range weather predictions are extremely accurate. The real issue is many people have no idea how to interpret them.

    I live in the southeastern USA. Weathermen are semi-accurate from May through September. The rest of the time, they lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie.
