In order to catch the message that it's going to rain, your attention should be already put into your umbrella. A situation that can only take place if you are already suspecting it may rain. Or, if you have the umbrella put in such a place where you will see the blinking light even if you're around doing stuff and not thinking of rain at all. Then again, maybe if you always place that umbrella hanging from a hook on your house's door, then as you walk to the door with the intention of leaving the house, you would see at a glance whether you should take the umbrella with you or not. Piaget, the French psychologist, wrote about memory impairment as he got older, and he said that he had got the habit of reading the weather forecast and, if it was going to be rainy the next day, he would leave his umbrella hanging from the door's handle so he would not forget to fetch it as he left the house in the morning.
