A couple of years in Tokyo gave me great trust in certain weather apps for eerily precise minute-by-minute rainfall predictions. After a few years back in Sydney, my trust in them has dropped back down to the usual uncertain baseline, and my reliance on them has been mostly replaced with my own rough assessment of the air and sky.

On recent visits to Tokyo, with my current habits, the general crowd (who presumably check some app) has been the more reliable forecast. Either everyone has an umbrella in their hand or they don't. And I discover whether I should have brought my umbrella or if I'll be lugging it around pointlessly, just far enough from my hotel to be stuck with my choice
