Abstract
WEATHER and the causes of weather are not easy subjects for the writer who addresses himself to a mixed audience. If he aims at strict accuracy, the writing must abound in saving clauses and qualifications, and the result will be anything but a clear-cut picture. Should he largely leave out the qualifying phrases, then the end result will not correspond to reality. Mr. Bilham, in this book, does manage to avoid these two dangers, and gives a clear and highly authoritative account of the way in which weather forecasts are prepared.
