It is raining at midnight, but the forecast for tomorrow and the next day is clear. Will it be sunny weather in 48 hours?​
NemiM [27]

Answer: It will not.

Explanation:

The question says that it is raining at midnight. By that logic, the time is currently midnight at the time of the question.

Going by it being midnight, 48 hours from then will be midnight as well only 2 days later. There can be no sunny weather at midnight so no, it will not be sunny weather in 48 hours simply because the sun does not shine at night.
