"You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows" is a quote from a famous song by Bob Dylan.
In context, it underscores the principle that certain facts are so self-evident and universally recognized that they can be asserted with complete confidence, irrespective of the speaker's level of specialized training or expertise. These are truths that resonate with common understanding and do not necessitate in-depth knowledge or professional credentials to be stated with authority.
