Weather forecasts in Spain are known to be quite precise when there is not a long holiday ahead. They can foresee without large mistakes the weather in the incoming three or four days. But, due to some misterious force, they are extremely short-term oriented when a long holiday approaches and we are having bad weather. These days, we have had no forecast for Easter, why? Because the it will rain in the most part of Spain and if weather forecasts tell it (the truth, never forget it) tourist operators get angry with them. So, the best solution is to hide the truth to the population and to make them spend their money in holidays they are not going to spend. Yeah, yeah, ethics play an essential role in Spanish journalism.
