Weather App is a Hoax.

I just checked my weather app 30 minutes ago to find out what time will it rain today. It said that rain will come at 12 noon and 4 in the afternoon. But lo and behold, 30 minutes after it is now raining and it is not just drizzle but rain though it is not that hard. No more laundry for bed sheets and comforters for today. The cakes are done!

I don't bother with apps. I find them hard to install anyway.

Weather these days are unpredictable and even fooling the technology to predict them . It's bright sunny morning there and one load of bedsheets is already in the washing machine. I plan to wash all the towels too today.

@arunima25 no, it is not normal. It is usually dry and cold season then to be followed by summer

I often check the weather app since I need to know whether it is cold or not outside

@rakski This is why sometimes I will check the weather a few times in a day

Weather apps are based on calculations only and cannot determine when it will rain.

It’s very difficult to predict the weather, especially in places where it can vary a lot. We can have the four seasons in one day here in the UK. I too have a weather app, but just for guidance only. It’s great, despite the weather being wrong, that you got the cakes made.

@rakski It’s easier now than it used to be as they have computer modelling, but it can still be wrong.

I uses the apple apps in my i-phone. They seems to be pretty accurate.

Sometimes the weather will tell me it is raining or snowing here when it is not.
