Met Office Confirms Rain Now Qualifies as “Autonomous Political Entity”
Precipitation Makes Power Play
In an unprecedented geopolitical development, British weather formally petitioned for permanent membership on the UN Security Council, citing its “consistent ability to influence domestic and international affairs without democratic oversight.” The Met Office reluctantly acknowledged that rain, drizzle, and “that weird humid grey thing” now operate as an independent political force.
A Track Record of Interference
Weather representatives pointed to their impressive resume: ruining every British summer since 1066, determining election turnout, and forcing the cancellation of approximately 40% of all planned activities. “We’ve toppled more picnics than most dictators,” declared a spokesperson who appeared to be a sentient cloud.
The petition includes testimony from millions of Britons who confirmed they have been “governed without consent” by atmospheric conditions for their entire lives. “I voted for sunshine in 2019,” said Manchester resident Tom Hayes. “I got eight months of drizzle and a brief Tuesday in June.”
Diplomatic Complications
Foreign Secretary David Lammy called the situation “awkward but not entirely surprising,” noting that British weather has exhibited “more consistency in foreign policy than several recent administrations.” The UN Security Council scheduled emergency sessions but had to reschedule twice due to fog.
Critics argue that giving weather political status sets a dangerous precedent. “What’s next?” asked constitutional expert Dame Patricia Winslow. “Does Boris Johnson’s hair get a vote?”
The Met Office confirmed it would remain neutral, though privately admitted it stopped predicting weather years ago and now just reports its demands.
