Today is January 12th, which means the first part of the cabañuelas just finished. It is an Hispanic weather forecast method, and according to it, a given year's weather can be forecast by paying attention to the weather in said year's January. Days 1 to 12 correspond each one to a month, January to December; the next days are arranged differently (you can check
here for a small explanation in English, or
here for a longish one in Spanish).
By the by, if you feel like reading some speculative fiction,
here are some online works, thanks to the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA).
