Is predicting the future haram?

I have heard that predicting the future is haram in Islam because only God knows the future and we cannot predict what only God knows (some say it is almost shirk). My question is: Is predicting the future haram? To what extent it is and to what extent it is not. * **Is predicting the weather wrong in Islam?** * **Is predicting the moon's location scientifically haram because only God know when it is going to reveal itself?** * **Is there any prediction that *is* allowed, if yes which type of prediction are they?** Thanks
