    Maybe it is because in 2017, almost all meteorologists predicted a El Nino year for the West coast. It was very dry, very.

    Maybe it's because they are taught to make predictions.

    Maybe because it is like all professions, they are practicing.

    I would put those little emojis at the end of my sentences but I really believe that most animals can sense things SCIENCE cannot explain.
