No.

It's a description of a probability, or a chance, or a risk.

It says it might rain.

100% that's a certainty, like the sun is going to go up tomorrow.

0%, that's something that won't happen, like Elvis returning, or world peace

50%, that's something that's as likely to happen as it's unlikely. Flipping a coin and calling it right is 50%.

40% means that it's a little more likely to remain dry.

Does a forty five percent of chance rain mean that it will rain?

No. It means there's a forty five per cent change of rain. ========================================== When a weather forecast says that there is 'a forty five percent of chance rain,' that means neither that it will rain nor that it will not rain. It certainly indicates that rain is possible, however, and that the chances are almost 50/50 either way. Weather forecasting is not and never will be an exact science. Weather is highly variable at the best of times. All that a meteorologist can do is analyze data, apply it to various models, and make an educated guess. Nevertheless, weather forecasting is much more accurate today than it has ever been before. A 45% chance of rain is really saying that there is a reasonably good chance that you might experience rain. Based on that information, you can decide if you should take an umbrella with you.
