__ The Valentine's Day, 1999, forecast for Paris. __
In early December, Wired asked Piers Corbyn for the Valentine's Day weather in Paris (he charges £50 - about $85 - for custom forecasts for specific dates far in advance). His prediction: "Valentine's Day 1999 in Paris is expected to fall at a transition between generally mild, bright but sometimes showery weather and a wetter, colder period. The forecast for the day is therefore: Paris will be generally mild with variable clouds and a few showers which are likely to turn heavy later or on the following day. General confidence: Moderate. Timing of changes: Less certain."
That's how Corbyn saw it back in December. To find out if he got the forecast right for la Ville de l'Amour, point your browser here on February 14: www.weather.com/weather/int/cities/FR_Paris.html.
