Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal Part II Natural Science 1904

1905

Anyone who follows the progress of meteorology in the United States will remember how accurate are the forecasts of advancing frosts " and readers of the daily papers will remember the severe criticism to which the Head of the United States Weather Bureau was subject two years ago when ho attempted to forecast the continance of the excessive heat in New York and other parts of America. [...] This is the temperature of the air close to the earth's suface and the increase of temperature from the early morning onwards is largely due to the warming effect of the earth which first absorbs the radiant heat from the sun and then gives it out slowly to the air in cotact with it. [...] It is impossible to record all the characteristics of thunderstorms or even many of them and the items of information which are generally available for those who have not been in touch with the storms are the rainfall the change of temperature and occasionally the strength of the wind. [...] by the downpour is being well enjoyed." I might continue this paper by commenting on some of the pecliarities of the thunderstorms of the past season more especially of those which accompanied the important change about the 25th of May. [...] That change began in the east on the 24th passed over Calcutta between the evening of the 25th and the evening of the 26th.
