Speaking too soon can partly be avoided by looking at the
live rainfall radar maps. They give a useful indication of
what's coming your way, and when. I first used them
usefully a few years ago, to tell people on my roof that
they had an hour to finish the roof before the rain/sleet
came. They didn't believe me, and were surprised when I
was right to within a few minutes.

I already know whether it rained this morning thanks very much, and it
doesn't tell you how much they charge for this afternoon's predictions
