foretellable
Able to predict
Foretellable describes something that can be predicted or known in advance.
The word appears rarely, usually in discussions of fate, prophecy, or determinism: Is the future foretellable, or do our choices truly matter?
Weather patterns are foretellable to a degree; human behavior less so.
