These disturbances actually occurred
with no severe storms up to 18th, eN-

the United States. Many people mis-
read the conditions under which my
storm wave predictions are made; they
forget. Only the longitudes of storm
waves are predicted, as a rule. Their
attitudes are seldom given. But the
predictions of temperature and rain
