Hello, teachers.
Is the following sentence understandable?
"The weather forecast seems to have had a right prediction."
Thank you in advance!

forecast and prediction are repetitive.
"The weather forecast seems to be right." |

If you just had to use forecast and prediction in the same sentence, you could say, "The weather forecast seems to have had a correct prediction about the clouds, but not about the rain." _________________ You live a new life for every new language you speak. -Czech proverb |
