Meteorologists Forecast ‘Some Weather’ For Thursday, Decline To Elaborate
Officials confirm the sky will be “up there” and that “things may happen in it.”
THE WEATHER CENTRE — The national weather service issued its forecast for Thursday on Tuesday, predicting “some weather,” and declined repeated requests for further detail.
“There will be weather,” said the chief meteorologist, standing in front of a map with a single question mark drawn over the entire country. “We are confident of that. We have been right about that every day for one hundred and forty years.”
Pressed on whether it would rain, she said “possibly,” and on whether it would be sunny, she said “also possibly,” before noting that “the two are not mutually exclusive, which is the beauty of the field.”
The forecast follows a difficult season for the service, which in October predicted “a nice day” that turned out to be a hailstorm, and in September predicted a hailstorm that turned out to be a nice day. Officials say the long-term average is “basically correct.”
Asked about the wind, the meteorologist said only “don’t,” and left the room.
Citizens are advised to bring an umbrella, sunglasses, a coat, a fan and a small boat, and to check the window, which experts describe as “still the most accurate instrument we have.”
