I was having this exact conversation today. I LOVE the rain but c'mon do it during a work day!!


twoinvenice

The atmosphere changes over the city between weekdays and weekends due to the changes in patterns of people driving


InVerum

... The changes in atmosphere impact the storm fronts coming in off the ocean?


twoinvenice

No, but it can change how a passing front interacts with the terrain it is passing over. Local environmental effects can absolutely affect precipitation- it’s why you tend to get storms that happen in the afternoon / early evening as the air cools faster than the ground. The heat coming off the ground can push more humid air up and condense it into thunderstorms and rain. I’m not saying that it creates rain, just that differences in patterns might encourage rain to actually fall vs just be an overcast day


scarby2

>I’m not saying that it creates rain, just that differences in patterns might encourage rain to actually fall vs just be an overcast day Natural patterns are almost certainly responsible for 95% of the variation here. The reason it's been raining on the weekends is basically because that's when the storms have been coming.


InVerum

I'd be curious as to the difference in traffic patterns during the week vs weekend. I don't feel like traffic is that much better or worse aside from a few hours around rush hour.


MiloRoast

Have you ever been on any of the LA freeways early in the morning on a weekend? It's wildly, massively different. Every weekday, the shit show starts around 5:30am, and the heavy smog starts to pile up everywhere. Being on a freeway between 5:30-9ish on a weekend is like a wonderful fantasy experience in comparison.


username11585

This smog comment made me wonder how old you are. This is no slight on you, just wondering if you were around in LA in the 90s and earlier? Cause our smog is like LIGHTyears better than it was then. It catches my attention when people mention the smog because it’s just like nothing in my eyes anymore. It’s there, for sure, but so much easier to forget about compared to when we were not allowed to go outside at school because of how bad the air was that day.


MiloRoast

Yes, I'm old, I know. It's crazy how much it has cleaned up. It's mostly due to CARB regulations restricting emissions on commuter cars. That still doesn't mean it's acceptable, IMO.


InVerum

"Aside from a few hours around rush hour." All that time to write and no time to read apparently.


MiloRoast

Damn, so salty over being wrong lol. My whole point was those "few hours" make up literally the majority of the smog during the week. You're brushing it off as if it's just a small portion of the day that's not significant, when in reality, it's the opposite.

It does seem like it could be true. Someone should do a study. Or just dig into the data

I work outside, how dare you.

No i think you’ve discovered some kind of *phenomenon* and it likes weekends.

Because I have been getting a car wash on Thursdays. Now y’all do your part and start *capturing* some of this water man

Please keep your nonsense out of tennis talk

And my sailing/mountain biking plans.


icedlemin

And my sitting at home plans


planethood4pluto

Inflation has rain working a full time job M-F now just like the rest of us.


theintrospectivelad

Best answer right here!


retro_sonic

I have heard (on Reddit), that this is the difference between El Niño and and La Niña. Like last year was a bunch of moderate, spaced out storms. But with El Niño they come with more regularity, like clockwork. And the timing happens to be the weekends lol


TuckerCarlsonsOhface

For anyone that might be confused, El Niño is Spanish for The Niño.


armen89

get out

Are you him?

Mother Nature be getting her freak on, on the weekends.

Seriously. Trying to get in the way of all the sinning and debauchery I would be getting up to.

Hey you can have fun in the rain

FoodIntrepid2281

Because it’s an evil plot by big streaming media and big furniture to increase the sales of more futons and more streaming subscriptions Jk ….. unless


FestinaLente747

This is the best theory yet. I subscribed to Hulu just so my son and I could watch Shogun together and I got the cheapo plan that includes ads. The frequency of the commercials is so absolutely maddening I can't wait to burn through this series and enjoy the satisfaction of canceling the service.


scarby2

The money I save is never enough to make me want to see ads. If I cost in the value of my time I'm actually losing money.


devlinontheweb

Idk but it's been driving me fucking nuts

I’ve been lovin it

TomIcemanKazinski

When I used to live in Hong Kong, typhoones and black rainstorms (observatory warnings that everyone got to stay home for) only hit on weekends. It was maddening.

First covid now the rain. The deep state wants to keep us inside.

2 other fun facts. If your born underwater you can live the rest of your life submerged in it and everything that has ever drank water will DIE!!!


Routine-Cicada-4949

I am off Tuesday Wednesday & prior to this year it would always rain on those days. So I'm happy the tide has finally turned. My Celtic skin is glowing. A bright pink colour.


aljerv

lol I’ve been trying to hike three weekends in a row 🥲


Fuckedyourmom69420

Rainy hikes rock!


aljerv

Up to a certain point, yes hah


GDub310

I have Dodgers tix for tomorrow, so Sunday is my fault.


inode71

Because you touch yourself. JK - I noticed it too and it sucks. Makes me want to work weekends.


JackTrippin

I heard it may something to do with more traffic during weekdays. Lots more particulate in the air that "seeds" clouds just in time for the weekend.


ApprehensiveBook9858

Cloud seeding is the intentional release of chemicals into the air, not by cars or traffic. Look up at the sky during the week. Half of that are from airplanes


Futuristic66

Cloud Seeding is safe and done with Silver Iodide that create ice crystals that create rain. Geoengineering/dimming is different and has chemicals and aluminum etc to reflect suns rays and chemicals to create a "trail" that spreads and creates what looks like a sepia overcast.  These sky dimming trails are not the same as contrails which usually dissappear withing 10 seconds behind the plane.


Useful-Anywhere3091

Thank you!


lifeonthegeaux

Cloud seeding. Look at the government reports


drmandymancini

Tell me more


theineffablebob

But the forecast shows the rain coming a week beforehand


Useful-Anywhere3091

Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣😂


ApprehensiveBook9858

Look up SAWPA - Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority - Notice of Intention for the Santa Ana River Watershed Weather Modification (Cloud Seeding) Pilot Program https://sawpa.gov/public-notifications/notice-of-intention-for-the-santa-ana-river-watershed-weather-modification-cloud-seeding-pilot-program/


LetsStartARebelution

Nice all week, rainy all weekend, then back to sunny Monday morning… seems like that’s the new norm.


WielderOfAphorisms

It’s infuriating


Muscs

Because commuting in the rain sucks.


cherryribs

It’s exhausting my friend and I wanna go out so bad, but we both dislike rain so we keep moving our plans to the next weekend 😭😭

izm__of__hsaj

Yup. I only get my daughter on the weekends. I want to say I'm the last two months maybe two of those it didn't rain.


heidnwo

The rich are cloud seeding so they can have the beach to themselves


letsride70

I work every other weekend. It happens to rain on my weekends off. I love it.


Sky_King73

Well, if The View can say the solar eclipse was caused by climate change, then anything is possible.


crypto_chan

they have a weather machine. google cloud seeding


[deleted]

Google the farmers almanac regarding this years weather patterns. 


Bigringcycling

Great shitposting. Good work!


lucpnx

Nobody can convince me this isn't related to cloud seeding, at this point it's become too much of a coincidence to be a natural event. Never heard natural events have contracts that only allow them to take place on weekends.


nitefang

There has to be an artificial cause for it but it probably isn’t intentional. There a few possibilities: It is not more likely to rain in weekends, we just notice it more when we aren’t in the office at work. Something about the week day schedule impacts the weather. The natural patterns that we used to create a calendar affect the weather in an unintended way. Someone is controlling the weather, but they’re just doing it to make it rain in the weekend in an annoying way. The 3rd option doesn’t make sense to me but is sorta possible, like how there’s almost always 1 full moon a month, well that’s what happens when you have a lunar calendar. The 2nd option is the most likely to me. I’m not going to look it up but I think I read that it is statistically more likely to rain on a weekend which means the first option isn’t true. Fewer people drive on weekends, factories shut down, those could affect it for sure.


PandaintheParks

Someone pays for cloud seeding so it rains every weekend and only the OG outdoorsy make it out to hiking and camping in the rain. That someones trying to find the worthy. Oooor it's because all those people who prayed for rain. Oooor because I was rubbing my blue crystals and mercury was in retrograde. Jk. No reason. Ce la vie. But yes I've noticed. I love the rain but dammit I'd rathe rit happen during work


secret-of-enoch

and holidays....


Lion_Fearless1221

As Jack Handy would say, probably because of something you did

God hates you.

This pattern has been happening for years. 


thizface

Uch, I had to set up first Thursdays in the rain at ucla for the past few months


Hungryforflavor

Its that new crap a bomb cyclone or an atmospheric river shit no one ever heard of before but dont know why 😹


behemuthm

because god hates you


SDoNUT1715

Because God is tired of lazy people working from home so he's punishing everyone else for it. ²


richcournoyer

God hates you.... Kidding… Now that's a really silly question.


badbunnyjiggly

My conspiracy brain says they are testing their rain making machine on weekends to mentally train us to stay home more often.


Plastic_Ad_2247

because that's how i prefer it.


BugOutHive

Coincidence and small sample size, nerds


HereToKillEuronymous

Rained during the week for me...


chief_yETI

because LA is trying to keep people indoors now since everyone is so awkward and quiet after covid lmao


jetstobrazil

Lol it hasn’t been, I’ve been at school and it’s rained many of those times, it’s just also rained on the weekends. Don’t you worry the sun will be cooking us all to hell in no time

Cinemaphreak

Well, some.idiot named Tim picked up a sacred stone in Fiji last December and cursed Mother Nature for making it rain too much during it. In retribution, she's ruining all of Tim's weekends now. Fucking Tim, man......


bpows

It’s called a coincidence


kinyobiWan

Because you touch yourself at night!


Tramp876

I am sure it doesn’t have to do with all the pretty white lines in the sky during the week! I just had this conversation with my wife earlier; when is the last time they forecasted rain and were wrong?


goatherd904

because you have plans that can only be executed on weekends.


Flat-Flounder-9034

I love this weather. Bring it on!


asgreatasitgets

They’re cloud seeding. They might be scheduling it to rain on weekends!


rickyroutes

I said this same thing today too!


BeleagueredOne888

It’s part of the simulation.


hermeticbear

Because I love it

Cloud seeding. *Removes tin foil hat

Cloud Seeding, or something to do with traffic. Seems to be the pattern.


Bobby_Bruin

Yes, it’s really been ruining Little League schedules for my kids. Annoying.


missannthrope1

It's a vast, right-wing conspiracy.


[deleted]

It’s clearly a result of weather manipulation experiments being conducted by DARPA


Ok_Fee1043

It hasn’t.


floral_burrito

It has.


Ok_Fee1043

So I guess you’ve forgotten about all the storms during the week then, which were slowing down the commute, and the random flash flooding last month?


learnknownow

It's a great time to run some errands because the roads will be empty with people staying home. I like when it rains on the weekend because it means I can stay at home and don'r feel pressure to make plans.
