Interesting, and entertaining read, Keno.
Although you say it's not uncommon, I'm amazed that at the age of 4/5 you were so tuned in to 'weather', especially as an urbanite as you were then. If you had been a farmer's son for example, your obsession (is that too strong a word?) might be more understandable.
It's often remarked upon that us Brits are preoccupied with the weather, but only in the sense that all we do is moan about it. Coming from a part of the U.K. where it is not uncommon to experience the four seasons in a morning, there is plenty to gripe about. I think however that living with such changeable weather, you do learn to pick up some of the signs, what cloud types mean a 'front' is moving in etc etc. I spent years clambering about the hills here, so it was pretty essential to have a forecast, but also to be able to read the signs once you were up there. There were days when cloud base was at ground level, but having some knowledge of atmospherics meant that you started up anyway, knowing that there was a good chance that you would emerge out of the cloud to some spectacular sights....temperature inversion...all that sort of stuff.
Thinking about what you say about your weather 'psychic' abilities (gift), I sort of think that for whatever reason you have retained a sensitivity that probably early humans all had, and which animals still have, because they are so much more at risk from the elements than we think we are, now. That ability that you have retained was probably lost to most humans over millennia as we strove with success to harness and control nature, and offset against it's worst effects. That said, climate change and related extreme weather events, pose a huge challenge.
