I would be very ironic if that resulted in the forecast being more accurate than before!

Don't knock the weather men/women. They do a bloody marvellous job of telling us what we've just had.

You need to watch some of those Mexican weather broadcasts.  It won't matter that they're telling you the wx you just had.

Yeah, those weather forecasters don't know what they're doing.  I suggest you ignore those tornado warnings and just go about your business.

Rhett, I've just watched Ozzyman reviews the Mexican weather forecast - had me in stitches! 

... and I forgot to take note of the meteorological conditions..

Last evening the weather forecast for today called for bitter cold and rain...

...it has been sunny and comfortably warm all day.

The weather office just installed new equipment to help them increase weather predictions significantly, they installed windows 🤣

Windows 10 perhaps?
