When Kate and Juliet were in the jungle, it was night and the moon was bright with it casting strong light and shadows. Juliet looks up, says it's going to rain and it does....but as they're running you can still see the bright moonshine and shadows on them.
How did Juliet know it was going to rain if the moon was bright...and how did it rain with the moon still shining bright??

Have you ever been in a sun shower? They're the best. :biggrin: There can still be clouds in the sky yet they don't have to block the light from the sun or moon.

You've never been in the south, have you? Rain and sunshine are common sight there.

That wasn't moonlight. That was the stage lighting.;)

I took note of this too. Not the moon stuff (they used to shoot night for day, shut the camera aperature down to make it look dark - the one I remember best was the graveyard scene in "Fistfull of Dollars" or "For a Few Dollars More")

Juliet predicting the rain was reminiscent of Desmond's predictions. And didn't Locke predict rain? I can't remember right now who it was. But what are the writers trying to tell us: Does Juliet possess some ability to predict the future?

It was Locke predicting rain more than once. I think they are trying to tell us that Juliet also has some "communion" with the island, similar to Locke...

I lived two years in Hawaii, which is of course where Lost is filmed, but it is also supposed to have the same sort of climate as the Island - except the Island is located in the Southern Trade Winds instead of the Northern Trades, where Hawaii is situated. But it's the same basic deal.

At any rate, it is actually a rare day in Hawaii when it doesn't rain at least once. But these rain showers are usually of very short duration. They come from the puffy clouds that form from the evaporating water from the Pacific, and if you look out over the ocean you can see these tall puffy clouds all over the place usually, even during nice sunny weather. They aren't very big - not like a big thunderstorm in the Midwest of the US, for instance. So when they drift along over the ocean and then hit land and start to climb, they shed their rain. But like I said, it only lasts a few minutes usually.

During these brief showers it is also very typical for the sun to be at a different angle than where the cloud is, so it's quite common to be rained on while you're out in the full sunlight in Hawaii. This is another reason why there are so many rainbows in Hawaii, too. Just about every day I saw a rainbow there, because of these micro-storms.

So, yeah, whether or not it was stage lighting of the real moon, the fact that it could be lit up like that and showering at the same time is completely and totally believable by me. I've seen it plenty of times.

I'm with Saukkomies. I lived on Hawaii for 4 years and it rained everyday, almost at the same time everyday. It would rain with hardly a cloud in the sky. It does the same thing here in Illinois from time to time.

Maybe they predict rain through their bones .. I know I can tell when it's going to rain or snow through my knee :grin:

Yeah I have been trying to perfect that skill too.:cry:

I can remember a nice warm day standing in the bright sun watching it pour rain on the house just across the street. So it gives me no problem seeing rain & moonlight mixed together.
