I'm right more often than those forecasters. Oh yeah, I study the animated map on CNN. I wet my finger and point it high in the air. I’m right more often than those forecasters.

They predict typhoons as James stated and we have a nice sunny day. As for rain predictions, they predict them all the time and hardly ever get them right. They just got lucky this time. At least you still got to hit the lake and smell the fresh dew from the rain landing on the fresh Korean soil. Hopefully you get good weather during your leave. Nomad,

If you are on base you can access the radar image which helps to display where rain showers are. I’ve always found it easier to look at Yahoo weather than the KMA forecasts.

There have been quite a few times when Yahoo predicted rain and windy conditions for the following day and yet the weather ended up being quite pleasant (and the other way around). I only care about short-term predictions right in my area and so far, KMA hasn't let me down (although you're right, it shouldn't be that <strong>hard</strong> to cover the next 21 hours for a meteorologist). And you're always welcome to come on up and fish the pristine Anseong river with us :) James,

After the rain stopped, so did the fish activity but it was time to head home and dry out by that time. As for the KMA forecast, their forecast is only for the next 21 hours and in my opinion, that is hardly useful for advance planning of outdoor activities. Hell, I can predict the waether in the next 21 hours by looking out the window. In part it is to cover their incompetence. Often they go overboard in their predictions in order to cover their ass in the event that a weather emergency happens and they don't predict it accurately enough. Last year they called for a typhoon that didn't show up (just heavy winds and rain) and this last winter they called for a massive snowfall when it was simply a winter dusting. And Nomad, I'll be expecting a phone call to go fishing during one of those vacation days.

But the lack of fish on top of it all was something else.

I've hunted in a lot worse, plus my chest waders and rain jacket kept me fairly dry and warm. As always though, it would have been nice to catch <b>more</b> fish. :) I didn’t think it was that bad.

If only the weather cooperates! Is there such a thing as an anti-rain dance?
