So there will be forty more rainy days!?

Quote:
St. Swithin's Day is 15 July, a day on which people watch the weather for tradition says that whatever the weather is like on St. Swithin's Day, it will continue so for the next forty days.

There is a weather-rhyme is well known throughout the British Isles since Elizabethan times.

"St. Swithin's day if thou dost rain
For forty days it will remain
St. Swithin's day if thou be fair
For forty days 'twill rain nae mair."

dost = does
thou = you
nae mair = no more.

Life in Hell, which is where these characters are from, "is a weekly comic strip by Matt Groening". That name would be the connection.
