gollark: Well, *theoretically possible* in that it's not explicitly forbidden as far as I know.
gollark: To predict rain longer than a few weeks away, that is.
gollark: Weather is a chaotic system, so you would need extremely precise data on basically everything and insane amounts of computing power and a highly accurate simulator.
