Weather reports have been inaccurate for some time, it was announced on news some time ago that we have lost ability to predict weather properly, even now weather prediction sites conflict with each other, how hard is it to put up devices to detect/ predict weather patterns? Sri lanka is so backwards its ridiculous

EC, main thing is not to worry. If the weather report says torrential rains there will be no rain. Keep that as the calculator
