WTF Stories of the Week

Ever feel like the weather always seems the worst on weekends?

You may be right! According to a German study that compiled 15 years of weather data, Saturdays have the most rain, Sundays are the cloudiest, and Wednesdays are the warmest.

Stupidly they are claiming a causal effect from work week traffic (a week's worth of traffic allows particulate matter to accumulate in the atmosphere and encourage condensation/clouds/precipitation). It's a good hypothesis, but certainly not supported by study.
