Rainfall in the Summer of 1911

Abstract

ONE does not hear much of effort on the part of official meteorologists to supply long-range forecasts of months, seasons, &c. It may be said, the thing cannot be done; better to say, it cannot be done infallibly. My own experience leads me to think a beginning might now be made with what will no doubt some day be a familiar institution, like the useful but imperfect daily forecast.
