If you multiply two decimals less than 1 can you predict whether the product will be less or greater than either of the factors?

No, you cannot. The answer can be greater than (or less than) neither, one or both numbers.
For example,
-4.5 and -2.2 are both less than 1. Their product is 9.9 which is greater than both.
-4.5 and 0.2 are both less than 1. Their product is 0.9 which is less greater than one and less than the other.
0.5 and 0.2 are both less than 1. Their product is 0.01 which is less than both.

If you multiply two decimals less than 1 can you predict wether the product will be less than or greater than either of the factors?
Fractional multiplication results are always less than any of the factors. You can't hit ugly with an ugly stick and expect to get pretty. The above answer is only true is both your fractions are non-negative (in addition to being less than 1.

How do you know that you have all the factor pairs in a given number?
It is possible to predict the number of factors of a given number just from knowing the prime factorization. If you list the p.f. with exponents, add one to each exponent and multiply them, you will have the total number of factors. Sounds complicated. Let's look at some examples. 2 x 3 = 6 (2^1 x 3^1 = 6) Any number without an exponent actually has the implied exponent 1. Adding one to each and multiplying gives us 2 x 2 = 4 Six has four factors. That's two factor pairs. 2^3 x 3^2 = 72 4 x 3 = 12 72 has 12 factors. 6 factor pairs. Square numbers are tricky. 3^2 x 3^2 = 81 3 x 3 = 9 81 has 9 factors but 5 factor pairs, since one of the factors (the square root) will be listed twice in a factor pair. Any time you have an even number of factors, cut it in half for the factor pairs. Any time you have an odd number of factors, add one and cut it in half.

They use computer models which take into account various factors such as temperature and current climatic conditions to predict what the weather is most likely to do.
Can we predict when thunderstorms will happen?
Meteorologists can predict when and where thunderstorms are "likely" but cannot precisely forecast their severity or persistence, as these are governed by complex factors including ground heating, topography, and variations in winds.
