About Predictable: NBC’s Weather and Climate Podcast

Predictable will explore everything from how we forecast tomorrow’s weather — to how we can predict droughts or hurricanes months ahead — and how climate change is impacting those predictions. NBC meteorologist Chase Cain will talk with everyone from celebrities to politicians and meteorologists to dive deep into the science and its impacts, but those conversations will be anything but predictable. The good news is that there’s still time to change what’s next and protect our beautiful planet.
