Talking about the weather is a competitive sport in this country. Sure, we all watch Jean Byrne and Evelyn Cusack; we love them like our own mothers' but.... there's always the suspicion that their codding us and making the weather up as they go along.
The same goes for weather apps.I have 4 of them on my phone and they are NEVER flipping right but, like star signs, I don't believe but love them.
Now things are about to get fierce interesting as the Japanese have taken weather prediction to the next level with a box that sits in your house and simulates what the weather is going to be like the next day. Now, before you rally the call that you saw Goody Johnson in the forest with the devil and it's time to burn this as a witch, just look at what it can do.
It looks like a soda-stream, a soda-stream goddamnit but with weather inside it. Amazing.
The Tempescope isn't available to purchase yet but I know what I want for Christmas. Just to get one up on my ma.
