I just read Cecil’s column on how weathermen calculate the percent chance of rain. We have a different way of doing it down here in Texas. A 40% chance of rain means, there were 5 people in the weather center, and 2 of them thought it would rain.
Yes, but are those people trained weathermen, or is it whoever happens to be standing there?
What does it mean when “X percent chance of rain” is predicted? (08-Aug-1986)
