Meteorologists in Westeros seem to have a fairly easy job. Seasons can last decades, after all, so predicting the weather involves little more than looking out a window and saying, "the next ten years will be kinda like this."
Seeing the number of people who get slaughtered in this series makes me think that the Westeros meteorologists (and SPOILER this book suggests they do exist ) could enhance their services by offering a "Vengeance Index." It'd be like a pollen index, only showing the likelihood of your being killed horribly for something that you may (or may not) have done.
Example of the Vengeance Index in action:

Example of the Vengeance Index in action:
Wife: "I'm thinking we should cancel the children's picnic today."
Husband: "Why? Does it look like Rape and Murder?"
Wife: "There's supposed to be showers of Rape and Murder all week."
Husband: "We could always move the picnic inside."
Wife: "I would, but the Vengeance Index is set at 'People Baked Into Pies."
Husband: "Not again."
