Olympic organizers are looking to hire meteorologists to create detailed reports on micro-climates around all Olympic venues. They say the job won't be as extreme as last year's Beijing Olympics, where silver iodide was shot at threatening rain clouds. Instead, they'll study the climate in order to predict chances of sun, rain, and wind.
Debbie Jevans, London 2012's director of sport, said, "If we can avoid a storm by half an hour or an hour, we should try. We hope it doesn't pour but if it does, by knowing in advance, at least we can provide everyone with ponchos."
What a ludicrous job! Why waste all that time and money trying to predict whether it's gonna be a rainy afternoon in four years? Of course it's going to be a rainy afternoon in four years! We're no meteorologists, but we can say with absolute certainty that it's going to be wet and overcast throughout the Olympics. You want to know why London's always overcast? Because it's so ugly, even the Big Guy above doesn't want to look at it.
