108. WEATHER AND CLIMATE 



The condition of the atmosphere for any particular day is 

 the weather of that day. The average of the weather for the 

 whole year is the climate of a particular locality. The cli- 

 matic conditions are the sum total of all the weather condi- 

 tions which take place in the year, and govern, to a great 

 extent, the suitability of the locality for agricultural purposes 

 or a place of residence. Persons do not realize what a great 

 influence weather has upon human beings, and yet the studies 

 of the United States Government are bringing those facts very 

 strongly before the people of the United States at the present 

 time. There are certain localities in which it is nothing less 

 than suicide for some persons to live, and there are other lo- 

 calities which tend to develop bad traits of character in certain 

 individuals, because of the continued physical discomfort they 

 produce.
