I waas having a talk with my dad last night, and I told him I don't bother tofollow the weather anymore. Lately, whenever they say the weather on the newscast, its never right. They've been announcing rain in my city for the past week already on almost a daily basis, but it doesn't happen, its been really nice outside. Also sometimes it makes me laugh, because when the newscast comes on at lunch, they say one thing for the weather, but then at the newscast at 6, they say something totally different. I know where changes constantly, but isn't there a way for them to be abit more accurate ? I don't bother to listen to them anymore, now if I must go out, I pack a sweater and an umbrella in my bag incase I need it. I've been stuck in the rain too many times before, because of the weather person announcing a sunny warm day and then all of a sudden it started raining lol. So how about you....do you follow the weather on the news or just go with the flow and see what happens ?

I follow the weather for Saturday. The reason I follow the weather for Saturday is because I go to the races. I want to make sure that they will actually be racing that night. I don't normally follow the weather but I do like to check every once in awhile. I'm a gardener so you do like to know when you need to water your plants. Most of the time the weathermen are wrong and so you just have to watch the sky and follow your own instincts.

Even if I don't tend to follow the forecast, it's report emerges in front of us in some form or the other. Like when we read a newspaper, we are likely to come across it in and also in our mylot homepage, it tells us about the current weather. I usually follow the weather forecast and then pack the stuff accordingly when I go for an outing!!

I follow the weather channel's forecast. They are very accurate and even give time frames for precipitation(online or on cell phone). I haven't been caught in rain, snow, sleet, etc.. since. I'm always prepared.

I sometimes listen to the weather forecast, but seldom follow it, I mean if there is rain. If it says it will be a hot day, well, I believe it. But if it says a rainy day, I would usually try my luck not to carry an umbrella as possible to see if I can escape from it. One interesting thing as I find recently is that the weather forecast turns to be more accurate than before. maybe technology makes it.
