In a world of unpredictability, the weather tops the list. Humans type “weather” into search bars hoping for a “sunny with clear skies” result.
A retired meteorologist watching the clouds anticipates rain. She looks at her iPad, opens the weather application: Expect rain at 3 pm. She smiles and looks at the clouds again.
She goes back to the kitchen and makes a cup of tea. She sits outside, on the floor, sipping her tea.
She’s comforted by the harmony between nature and algorithm, proud of her own forecast and the daily ritual connecting humanity and the ever-changing unpredictable weather.
