How does it know?

Came up the Medway, Sharfleet to Chatham this morning, stiff breeze so quick trip but torrential rain all the way. Enter the lock, rain stops when it ceases to matter and you're cold and wet.
How does the weather god know? This isn't the first time and I doubt it'll be the last, I wonder how many others have had a similar experience.

Similar thing: weather's been great all week, about to come off night-shift and it takes a turn for the worse.

Without wishing to appear selfish - Could you please go back on Night Duty?

We have the opposite here in Ibiza. Tomorrow we have the annual outdoor boat show here. They started setting up yesterday, and it was raining, and this morning it rained even harder. I am unsure if it has been cancelled or re-scheduled, but this morning they dismantled everything they had put up ----- and soon after stopped raining and the sun came out

Days off are out of the question for the moment.
Short-staffed as it is - we're two in the duty roster when we should be six.
So, it's just the two of us and the whatever reservists they can still find when scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Result: week on/week off till the middle of July.
On the plus side: from the middle of July till the end of the year I only have to do 5 shifts.
Hoping for a decent August and an Indian Summer.
