Original Note:
The photo refers to a commonly referenced myth that a weather forecast's stated chance of rain is saying that a percentage of an area will definitely receive rain. But this is untrue, the forecasted chance is exactly that, the chance of rain for a given area or point. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/04/19/fact-check-viral-post-errs-meaning-30-chance-rain/11682149002/ https://www.weather.gov/media/pah/WeatherEducation/pop.pdf
