2010-04-27|Probability of Precipitation in Environment Canada
To the editor
I often check the weather forecast for Gatineau, QC, on Environment Canada's website. I noticed some inconsistency in the reporting of Probability of Precipitation (POP).
The forecast for Sunday has the POP of "60 percent chance of showers" OK. However, the forecast for Saturday is "Rain", but there is no POP. Since your statement is so definitive, I would expect Saturday's POP to be close to 100%. Please give me explanation as to why the POP is shown OK for Sunday, but not for Saturday or for other days.
