Man visits another man, noticed a knotted rope hanging just outside the window. “What’s that?” he says. “That’s my weather indicator.” the other man replies. “How does it work?” “When it swings back and forth, it’s windy. When it gets wet, it’s raining.”
My husband swears by the weather from a certain weatherman.
We have been having more rain than usual. Husband likes to go to the Lancaster, PA area on Fridays for a farmer’s market. We were not able to do so from January until May or June as it rained every Friday either here or there – and the local weatherpeople were even talking about same.
Husband will also yell at the radio when the temperature they give is not the same as the one where we are – he will not understand that there is difference from NYC to where we are.
Well, when my cats go out the front door and see it is raining, they often go out the back door to see if might not be raining there. Of course, they have brains the size of walnuts.
I’ve actually had this conversation with people. Same thing with people who have to look at an App to see if they got any sleep the night before. Amazing!
Weather has limits. Some where they end/begin. Once I got to see it rain on the other side of the street, not on our home. Nothing “weird” just happenstance.
When weatherman has forcasted a storm…I get confirmation by looking at our patio to see if the ants have built more ant hills (means Rain IS coming) …works 75% of the time
Local weather guy was just commenting on that. Shower was so isolated you couldn’t see it on radar unless you zoomed way in. Part was hidden under the city name.

Could be worse. My mother swears it rains in her front yard and not the back all the time. Dementia sucks.

Where it’s raining has a certain area*. Virga will show or radar. etc I don’t follow any one source blindly.
/I have a degree in meteorology. But I’m also old and retired.
*except that one time where it rained everywhere according to one book

Actually happened to me recently. It was actually raining outside and absolutely no evidence on my radar apps.

Reminds me of bob dylans Subterranean Homesick Blues, you don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.
