Interesting, but what happens when you are touring in a country where English is a second or third language (ie, no radio stations broadcast in English).

I've generally been a "poke my head out the tent and see what is happening" sort of tourist. If the weather is bad, I stay put or seek sturdier accommodation.

There are areas where I would manage my touring plans to avoid severe weather conditions. The cyclone/hurricane areas would be one, and the tornado alleys would be another.

My distrust of weather forecasters is ever increasing. Sometimes they are right, but more often they are wrong. And with this in mind, I am increasingly concerned about the major influence of their "science" on public policy across the globe.
