Ceaser was told of the coming storm when he sailed to Britain. Both times. He still sailed. This is a very common problem for Romans even when they know of a storm they still sailed. Air pressure, humidity, bird behavior, cloud patterns all can signify rain. Not as perfectly as today nor can they get a weeks forcast. They can still tell there’s going to be a storm later that day or likely one the next. Rome just kinda said fuck the gods we ride
