Predictive Ability


I use an App called Rain Alarm to warn me of impending precipitation. You can set the radius and sensitivity of the App, which connects to the international weather radar system.


When rain is within my set radius, an alarm on my phone vibrates and my work colleague, Mike, is constantly amazed by my ability to predict rain. I feel the alarm vibrating in my pocket, look out of the window and say; "I think it's going to rain within 20 minutes," with unerring accuracy.

I keep telling him it's an old sailor's trick.
