So, yeah, the weather in Mumbai isn't all that great (or is full of romance, petrichor, and other nonsense, if you don't need to travel by public transport). Anyway - we frequently criticize the MET for getting the weather wrong. But they get it right most of the time, and it's pretty darn difficult to ask given that literally anything in the world could change the weather. It was a meteorologist who coined the phrase 'butterfly effect', after all. Chuck and Srikeit look at how the weather is predicted and look back at some ways our ancestors used to do so.
