Fir.t Weather Prophecy on Recora


First wenther Prophecy on Record.
The first attempt at scientific fore
casting of the weather was the result
OF storm which during the Crimean
war, November IA, 1854, almost de-

storms were the same, and if the prog

been foretold. 1t was demonstrated
that the two were in reality one storm

certained and the fleet forewarned in
ample time to reach safety
