Weather does not resist factorization and computization. In that sense it is very predictable, not easily, but you can make input and take output and achieve a result that is close to future reality. There are formulae and the systems are understood. In that sense it is "predictable". Not monotonous, but changeable, and in a way that can be interpreted.

It is stable at least in its change in certain areas in that it is a large system that moves relatively slowly. It is not chaotic in the sense that sudden changes create singularities at fronts that are inexplicable. As well, the idea that it is unstable implies that minute changes or inputs may make a vast difference in the system. In fact, the input of millions of small factors would be irrelevant, if that were so. The scale of the system and its time to show effects of change also militate against small factors being of much importance.
