I'm not surprised.  Surely you know that a conker on a string has 
important meteorological properties?

If the string is wet, it's raining.
If the string is dry, it's going to rain.
If the string is horizontal, it's windy.
If you can't see the string, it's foggy.
If the conker is smashed, it's hailing.
If the string is on fire, there's a thunderstorm.
If the string is rigid, it's frosty.
