You have made a prediction for a time window that has nearly expired Shan,
Time window 24 March through 30 March for predictions made on 29 MArch?
That is not acceptable as a forecast, it is a hindcast. Of course, I realize these
predictions had already been posted before today so that is not strictly correct,
as they are true predictions, but you need to be careful not to make hindcasts -
it is a technique some unscrupulous predictors use to better their score (or even
to give the appearance of making hindcasts). It's a matter of credibility, better
to miss than diminish your reputation as an honest forecaster.
