weather predictor

Atmospheric condition guesser

A weather predictor is a person, device, or method that forecasts atmospheric conditions.

The term covers everything from professional meteorologists to smartphone apps to folk traditions like observing woolly caterpillars or groundhogs.

My grandmother swore by her aching joints as a weather predictor.
