Let's Talk about the Weather

So here's the thing: you can predict the weather basd on a caterpillar's colour. Not any caterpillar though. The fuzzy orange and black ones. See, the head is orange, the body black and the tail orange. The amount of black on the body indicates the dryness. You start counting in the Spring, presumably when it is born. If most of the caterpillar is orange, you're getting wet. I am not sure if you can get rings (an alternation of colours).
Anyhow, we found such a caterpillar and brought it to a learned friend who explained it to us. He showed us how we had had a rather dry summer and said not to expect a white Christmas.

It seems this ancient knowledge was used in Cambodia for centuries to plan rice crops.

Another effect of the climate change...
