This episode explores how humans interpret weather as signs of luck, fate, or divine messages. From the belief that rain on a wedding day brings good fortune to the fear of thunder as a spiritual warning, weather superstitions reveal our attempt to find meaning in nature’s unpredictability. Psychology explains these beliefs through pattern recognition, anthropomorphism, and the need for emotional comfort in moments we cannot control. Ultimately, the episode concludes that weather omens are less about the sky itself and more about how the human mind turns chaos into story.
