LET US ALL AGREE TO CALL THE COCONUT BOMOHS
But seriously speaking, QZ8501 most likely was caused by big rain as it is the monsoon season..
AirAsia - Safety Issues or fluke? - 2 major incidents in 3 days - Weather to blame?

Rain wouldn't bring down an A320 
extreme turbulence could but extremely unlikely

It could be Pitot tube failure, leading to a stall. That happened to an Excel Air A320 once.

A320's don't have pitot tubes they are more advanced than the 737 with pitot tubes and have square electronic sensors.
The XL France A320 is a very different situation, that was down to the flight crew deliberately forcing the plane beyond its limits to test the aircraft, unfortunately the software that should have stepped in and prevented a stall failed and the aircraft stalled.

All aircraft have pitot tubes. Airbus A330s, which are even newer than A320s by a few years, have pitot tubes (see Air France 447).

Apologies, I didn't realise they were placed lower down on the aircraft and are far less prominant
