....a Clairvoyant with a booth on a seaside prom somewhere.

The two occupations that spring to mind where you can conistently get things wrong but likely still make a consistent living.

The weather websites have, for the last several days, had little rain icons sprinkled across their illustrations, promising rain.

Fibbers! Ditto fortune tellers.

Fortune Tellers say what you want to hear.
Weather Forecasters, not so much.

You'd be a bit cooler....a sea breeze. Bliss!

We have rain icons pop up every week then disappear with frustrating regularity. Is it really this hard to forecast rain?
They seem to forecast heatwaves pretty accurately 🙄

I suppose because the weather maps have slipped a bit - we've got lots of rain up here ☔
