Analysis
The Parents line governs rain. Parents You Metal is produced by the day, and moving must give rise to Water. The hexagram contains layered Hai Water, so the 16th will see heavy rain. But Parents You Metal transforms into the regressive Shen Metal — there will be rain, but it won't last.
Actual outcome
The opening ceremony had to be delayed because of rain. The prediction was correct.
