Is this not backwards?

I presume that if there is a 30% chance of rain it means that there is a 70% chance that it won't rain. Some might even say that in such circumstances rain is less likely than no rain. This approach seems reasonable, or at least pretty close to reasonable, to me.

Apparently this isn't the approach that Environment Canada takes. Even though there is only a 30% chance of precipitation, and presumably a 70% chance of no precipitation, they have opted to go with the rain icon in their 7-day forecast.



Apparently bad forecasts aren't enough for Environment Canada, these guys also want to confuse the Canadian public by using forecast icons that don't really reflect the forecast.

Thanks guys, your off-beat, mischievous sense of humour never fails to warm my heart and bring a smile to my face.
