The weather authorities say they're applying advanced technologies, scientific methods and their own experiences to help minimize inaccuracies.
Beijing's meteorologists have been perfecting their techniques and say that they are determined to provide the best weather information ever in Olympic games history.
August is Beijing's rainy season, but Organizers have a few tricks up their sleeves to prevent bad weather: the use of Cannons will somehow prevent rain from marring the opening and closing ceremonies
Wang Jianjie, Deputy Director of Beijing Meteorological Bureau said "We are working closely with BOCOG's opening and closing ceremonies department. We are making plans for different weather conditions. Different ways will be worked out to ensure successful ceremonies."
The opening ceremony will start on August the 8th and the closing ceremony on August 24th. Let's keep our fingers crossed for good weather.

This article is significant to China because, in beijing the rainy season is in full force during august, the time in which the olympics will be going on. The meteorologist have promised the people that there will be no rain during the opening and closing ceremonies. China during august is a lot like florida during the summer, it's hot and sticky till around three o'clock when it rains hard for about two hours then goes right back to being hot and sticky. So to promise that there will be no rain is very far fetched. I plan on fallowing up on this when i find the method they plan to use to stop the rain.
