Skirt to predict weather

迷你裙氣象學:看裙識天

The length of women's mini-skirts can be used to predict changes in the weather ahead of announcements from the weather bureau, the Daily Telegraph reported. The rises and falls in the length of skirts are said to be a good way of forecasting what the weather will be like 3 days in advance, based on research into what is selling best at eBay. Analysts at the company said the length of skirts sold on the website becomes shorter several days before the weather changes for the better, and lengthens when colder conditions are due.

據《每日電訊報》報道，迷你裙的長短能預報天氣變化，而且比氣象局還快。根據購物網站eBay網對暢銷商品的研究，裙子的長度變化是預測未來3天天氣狀況的好方法。eBay網分析師稱，在天氣轉暖前幾天，網站上售出的裙子就會變短，反之，裙子變長則說明天氣將變冷。
