Weather Charts and Storm Warnings: With Numerous Illustrations (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Weather Charts and Storm Warnings: With Numerous Illustrations

This little work has been put together in the endeavour to supply a want which has been expressed in many quarters: that of an explanation of the weather charts which appear in the newspapers, and of the remarks which are appended to them.

The conceptions and principles on which the science of weather study is based are apparently quite new to the majority of ordinary readers, who still hold to the belief that the barometer rises or falls in direct relation to the weather, without any attempt to consider how or wk} it does so.

It is hoped that the following pages may convey some idea, however imperfect, of the present state of Weather Knowledge, as distinguished from the science of Meteorology itself, of which this book makes no claim to be called a manual.
