Abstract/Contents: | Discusses weather forecasting, stating that "weather systems are constantly moving in a generally west to east direction, but their rate of movement is subject to change. They may speed up or slow down, intensify or dissipate. The weatherman is not always able to estimate these underlying factors accurately so rain forecast for this morning may not arrive till late afternoon or light showers may turn into steady drizzle." |
