Oh now, we've been predicting the weather far longer than you imagine. We just haven't been very good at it until fairly recently.

When newspapers first started to be published they weren't printed daily it was just whenever they felt like they had enough news. And it took days for them to create the paper and for them to print all of the copies so even very vague estimates of the weather would have been out of date by the time they were actually selling them.
