GEOGRAPHIC NOTES 



FORECASTING THE WEATHER 



IN a recent address, published in the 

 Marine Review, Prof. Willis D. 

 Moore, Chief of the Weather Bureau, 

 emphasized the point that any person, 

 by studying the few simple principles 

 on which the daily weather map is 

 founded, can estimate the general char- 

 acter of the weather for his region one, 

 two, or, at times, three days in advance. 

 ' ' By preserving the weather charts 

 each day and noting the movements of 

 the highs and the lows, any intelligent 

 person can make a fairly accurate fore- 

 cast for himself, always remembering 

 that the lows, as they drift toward 

 him from the west, will bring warmer 

 weather and sometimes rain or snow, 

 and that, as they pass his place of ob- 



servation, the highs following in the 

 tracks of the lows will bring cooler and 

 probably fair weather. 



' ' He can closely forecast the temper- 

 ature for his region by remembering 

 that the weather will be cool so long as 

 the center of the predominating high, 

 i. e., the high enclosing the greatest 

 area within the 30-inch isobar, is north 

 of his latitude — either northeast or 

 northwest — and that it will be warm so- 

 long as the high is south of his lati- 

 tude. 



' ' To get a rough idea of the differ- 

 ence between storms, we might classify 

 them, according to the diameter of the 

 gyrating masses of air under their in- 

 fluence, as follows : 



" Cyclones, 1,000 to 2,000 miles; hur- 

 ricanes, ico to 500 miles, and tornadoes,
