The Weather Forecast

"Heavy snow is on the way" -
At least that's what the experts say.
"We can expect some heavy rain,"
Or "scattered showers" once again.
"Tomorrow's forecast is for hail,"
Or "definitely there'll be a gale."
All too often it's the case,
"Heavy rain" means just a trace.
Gale-force winds end up a breeze,
Which barely rustles in the trees.
"Freezing cold" can be quite mild
While "sunny" can be wet and wild.
Especially if the forecast;s for
Three days ahead, or maybe more.
And as for forecasts months away
Predictions can be far astray,
With "cold wet  summer" turning out
Weeks of boiling sun and drought,
While "arctic winter" never sees
Even pools of water freeze.
For weather changes every day
So it's impossible to say
Referring to a future time
How the temperature will climb,
Or whether there'll be cloud of sun,
Really heavy snow or none.
