Abstract
UTNTIL after an international aerial route had been established along the Persian coast, meteorological information for this region was very scanty; the systematic study of its climate rested mainly upon a few observing stations, making observations once a day only, which had been established by the India Meteorological Department. A more elaborate organisation arose in 1927, in response to the needs of aviation, which took the form of a chain of telegraphic reporting stations extending from Karachi to Bushire and observing at 4 A.M. and 2 P.M. G.M.T., that is to say, at about 8 A.M. and 6 P.M. local mean time.
