Rain predicted? you gotta be Kidding.

You live in a part of the country that has low rain, I don't understand why people move to these places and then want a green yard...

Hi Hatley! That's a long time to go without rain. I live in New England and it's been raining here off and on for a few days. It seems to me that the more expensive technology the weather reporters get the worse their predictions get. In the '50's my mother always knew if we should wear our raincoats and boots. The weathermen seemed to know more back then. But New England weather is unpredictable, too. You know the old saying about NE "If you don't like the weather - wait a minute". It can change that fast. Weather patterns seem to be changing drastically in some places. Last year we had a tornado. I live in Western Mass. This is not tornado country. I hope it never happens again. Luckily my city was one of the few that weren't affected by anything much except high winds. You should probably call in some of those California Indians. You could be the "Queen of the Rain Dance". What a hero you'd be if it actually rained! How long can you go without rain? Not much longer I would think.

We may get rain as early as Friday but for sure next week. It is always nice to have the rain but this time of year it isn't quite as exciting as it would have been back in August. Featherville is still standing and all is well in my neck of the woods. A young man was arrested for here recently for starting one of the fires here to get the attention of his father. Can you imagine? Destroyed a home and thousands of acres of Idaho.

It amazes me to learn that you haven't had any rain since last April.Needless to say,it is afflicted with a severe drought there. Nature is unfair in rainfall.In some places,It has been pouring with rain for quite some time so that caused floods.Hope that a welcome rain will fall,ending all signs of drought.

You never know it could happen. I've seen the oddest weather patterns this year and seeing some rain here if it happens would be one of the top that is suprising. But not yet here either (also in CA). Its said to be a "wet winter" which likely means just snow here. I hate snow, I'm going to be a grumpy guss this winter if there is a lot of it. I'd rather in rain here any time than to get snow. I've heard about that seeding thing and seen it I think. Its weird, I don't really want to know how they do that. Messing with mother nature is what is going to be our downfall. Either that or diseases or population. Ah well, I can't stop the government from doing whatever they want, can you?

hi there my madam :) and so the weather forecaster announced that the whole philippines got to rain after that night of pro-announcement. well, i do not believe on this such because it was the second time he did that. i guess, it was my problem as to digest that information. generally speaking, during that time, it was raining to the most places of this country excluding our place and city. so i can say that it was not the entire country of ours who had that kind of weather as being reported on television... God bless

Weather forecasters make really good money for only being right about half the time. You will have to keep us posted on whether or not you get some raindrops of any kind falling on your sunny Southern California.

If it can help and if it were possible to do so, I would send some rain from my part of the world to yours. Here in my country it has been raining almost every day since July. Since I don't own a dryer, when I do my laundry usually it will be sunny then a bit cloudy in the morning. But by afternoon it will start raining until all through out the night. I am having trouble drying my laundry and I am not able to go through all of them that have piled up since July. In terms of weather prediction, I no longer believe in that. A few weeks ago our weather bureau announced that the following day would be sunny. And since it wasn't raining that night I did some laundry. By 2AM it started to rain, all throughout the day.

Aunt Hatley, indeed rain is hard to be predict. Same goes for my area here, the raining days are uncertain. We never knows which day will be raining and which day is sunny. Even nowadays, it is hard to trust weather forecast. Most of the time, it is the opposite result. The weather in my area here today is raining. Yesterday, it is sunny half day and raining half day. I am not sure what is tomorrow's weather. Unpredictable...Have a nice day....

dear Hatley, I love to have a rain dance too...weeeeeee we can do it ma'm Just kidding. Here in our place it's raining occasionally and people are always in fear when the rain started to pour that hard due to floods and landslides. Wish we can send some rain in your place

Or I suppose that I might be able to redirect some of the rain that we've had here so that you will have some in California and we will be able to avoid some of the rain that we've been having in the last several weeks here in central Kentucky. Seriously though, I really don't think that we should mess around with Mother Nature because of the fact that I tend to believe that nature has its own way of regulating itself.

Hi Hatley! This morning I am wearing long sleeves and a jacket in the SFV! I haven't actually looked at the weather forecasts - but it does sort of "feel" like it's going to rain out there. But will it really rain . . . hmmmm, who knows - we almost have to sit and wait!! I do welcome this weather though - I had enough of the heat - and I would welcome the rain too to wash out the dusty bustiness from the past few months. I don't know what to believe when it comes to weather forecasters . . . what they do is give an educated guess, I guess. Especially where we live it seems like hit and miss when it comes to weather - I just don't hold my breath!!!

Dear Ms Hatley Heavy rains are expected to hit this part of the world - as there has been some depression in the nearby seas. I think the weather is undergoing some major changes and maybe we are heading fast to the predictions of only two weathers for the year.

Hello there! My dear mylotter aunt Hatley I think that you are lucky to say that “we have rain predicted”. I cannot do so because it is Monsoon rains at our place. But I like rains. What a sweet feeling it is when a cool rain drop comes to our face and any part of the body which is exposed. I also like to be wet in rains. It is so funny. Happy mylotting and have a lot sweet dreams! Thanking you. [b][u]Mrs Rakhi Sharma[/b][/u] [i]Saturday, October 13, 2012[/i]

Hi little chickadee! Well I certainly hope you get some rain soon, if not today, maybe tomorrow. That's an awful long time to go without rain, geesh. Yeh, weather forecasters are just as unpredictable as the weather is, haha. They sure get paid good for doing this and it doesn't count if they're wrong. They just blow it off like the wind. Let us know if you get any rain or not, should be interesting.

it has been known to work and im thinking we need to be calling all rain dancers around the globe no rain here much ever. so we need to call in back up troops of rain dancers since ours dont seem to be getting it done

Mom here it should have been end of rainy season, it is supposed to begin from middle of june or early july, but things have changed drastically, though it is 2nd week of october, it is raining cats and dogs for last 3 days, weather bureau says it is due to sudden depression we are playing with mother nature and this is the outcome

rain prediction sometimes doing wrong. we should have rain since May, but till now the weather is dry and quite hot. government plan to have "made rain" by doing some ceremony. hopefully this is work...

Since April there has been no rain over there? We have rain here in fact some places here in the Philippines were flooded because of heavy rains. There is really no fair distribution of weather in the world.

Hi Auntie! I know what you mean. The weather prediction for our city has been off once in awhile. Two weeks ago we were supposed to have a T storm on a certain day and it didn't show up till the next day.
