In the Netherlands, a weatherman was once threatened with his life for predicting bad weather. Some madman just got fed up with all that rain outside. On the saner side: There is big money involved here. A good forecast on a summerday might draw millions of people to the amusementparks, never mind the actual weather. A bad forecast will mean money for movietheaters and musea. How is sponsoring your weatherman?
