It means to plan for just the opposite. Then, they say there is a 50% chance for a week from next Tuesday. They actually say that with a sheepish grin on their face. All guess work and wrong so often.
There is no such thing as an exact opposite to a 50% chance of rain. It means on days with the same weather conditions it rains 50% of the time.
On every single topic you are outright ignorant, it’s incredible someone can know so little about everything. But of course that explains why you think the Farmers Almanac is a great source of forecasting.

I’d say the opposite of a 50% chance of rain is that the chance is BIASED to one side; i.e. greater chance of rain than not… or lesser chance of rain than not.
What does ‘calls for rain’ mean? Is that consistent with a 50% chance of rain?
What are ‘clowds’?

Well that’s stupid, and wrong, obviously. But you have a degree in statistics. Clown. Yeah, the hypothetical forecast, by an unnamed group is declared biased without looking into it. Kick rocks, genius.
“Clowds” is a typo, clearly.

Correct. Between “calls for rain” or “calls for no rain”; which one of those “calls” is implied by a 50% chance of rain? Ready, steady, … GO!

Ok, I’m happy to answer, unlike you, on any question, because your do not have the intellectual capability to do so. We can pretend this isn’t the common terminology. Remove that part, and you still couldn’t answer the only relevant part. It does not change the fact you said it was the exact opposite, which is not possible, and 100% wrong.
Never whine able word parsing again, genius.

Polar, I have a lot of trouble with Progressive word parsing. What is the difference in partly sunny and partly cloudy? Does that mean that if we have partly cloudy, we have a 50% chance of rain or if we have partly sunny, we have a 50% chance of being partly cloudy.

Weather 101:
Partly sunny = less than 1/2 the day will be sunny
Partly cloudy = less than 1/2 the day will be cloudy
75% chance of rain = it rained 75% of the time when today’s conditions happened on other days (barometer, humidity, etc).
75% chance of rain = it did NOT rain 25% of the time when today’s conditions happened on other days.

And by the way Agent, you’re right when you wrote “If we have partly sunny, we have a 50% chance of being partly cloudy.”
Partly cloudy & partly sunny do mean the same thing. You can only use partly sunny in the daytime hours where partly cloudy can be used all day and night.

OK; I actually learned two things. The second thing I learned is that Confused doesn’t know what partly “clowdy” means. It is NOT 1/2 of the day will be “clowdy” and half will be clear. He should ask Bill De-Nye-r, the Silence the Right Guy, for an explanation.

I agree. I never said that.
It means less than 1/2 the day will be cloudy. If you recall from your statistics classes, less than half means anything below 50% all the way to 0%. A partly cloudy day could have no clouds at all!

Way to go young Progressive word parser. Did you flunk Meteorology 101? The only thing that holds true is that Meteorologists get it wrong all the time just like Climate Change hoaxers that tell us the seas are rising and we have record heat year after year swallowing the fake scientists drivel publishing their fake reports.
2. I posted the correct way to forecast, Polar said the non-existent forecasters were biased one way or the other.
3.neither of you could answer what a simple forecast means.
4. You guys don’t seem competent to exist in public on your own. If you don’t know how to read a forecast, and got and Yogtard have proven you don’t, you cannot have an informed opinion on how accurate meteorologists are, because you aren’t competent.
Ahh, to be a weather man. Get it wrong more than you get it right: get promoted.
“I think it will rain somewhere. Somewhere in the next couple of days. I predict that it will rain here on this exact spot…..sometime.”
In other words, they haven’t a clue.
Meteorologists are a lot like political pollsters and commentators. They get to keep their job even if they are wrong most of the time.
Agent, when you see the weather forecast and it has a picture of clowds & rain, calls for rain, and says 50%, what does that mean?
It means to plan for just the opposite. Then, they say there is a 50% chance for a week from next Tuesday. They actually say that with a sheepish grin on their face. All guess work and wrong so often.
