/ alcks' Weather Forecasts for August.
| we publish below from Word and Works
the Hicks weather forecasts for next month:
| "A regular storm period will be at its crisis
/ on August the LIST and I'd. A Mercury period
10 near its center at this time and will prolong
ana intensity storm conditions at this period.
THUNDER storms, with many stiff, local gusts
| Of wind and rain, will center on and about the
Isl and ID. Immediately after these storms
Pas east Of any given locality the wind will
change to some cooler win take place. Cloudi-
ness, with degree of threatening conditions,
VIII remain for several days, even after the
Storm areas have passed away. Such are the
characteristics of the Mercury equinox, which
y central on the 4th, extending from July 18th
to August 10th.
A reactionary storm period is central on the
otns 9Th and 9th, on and about which days
may be expected return of storm conditions.
The warmth will increase, the barometer will
iaii and cloudiness will grow into decided areas
OF st0rminess and precipitation. These storm
areas will, of course, not cover the whole
country on any one date, but they will start in
western parts and progress in regular order
eastwardly across the country.
"A regular storm period extends from the
10TH to the l4th. Il is central on the 18th and
will come to CRISIS centrally between east
and west extremes of the country, on Tuesday
and Wednesday 18th and 18th. If you are far
west you will get your storms day or Two
earlier you who are far to the east Will read OF
the storms before they reach you. The new
moon is on the 9th, hence hot, threatening
weather may hold through the Mercury brace:
Take seven days, with the 9th as the central
day, and you have period of great seismic
probability.
IA reactionary storm period is central on
the 18th, 18th and 18th. As this period begins
it will grow much warmer, first in the west,
the barometer will fall and reactionary storms
OF rain, wind and thunder will pass eastwardly
across the country, reaching their eliminating
stages on and touching the 18th and 18th. Let
it be remembered that the Earth's autumnal
equinox extends to this part of August.
"A regular storm period covers in perturb-
ing lpoWer the 2ist to the 18th. During this
period the moon passes perigee on the list,
fnlkon the 23d and the celestial equator on the
26th. The Venus disturbance. which is cen.
tralin September will also affect storm and
weather conditions at this period. This period
may also be put down as a decided seismic
period, centering on the 2Sd and covering the
whole period.
ga reactionary storm period is central on
the 10Th, Both and 31st. 1t is well known
fact that great tropical storms coming up
| from equatorial regions, outlive as rule the
limitations of the ordinary storm periods.
This is true, especially in cases where the We
nus equinox and other astronomic causes
unite with earth's equinox. But in all such
cases it is safe to say that these storms take on
renewed energy and violence as they run into
the storm periods next following those IN
storms appearing at the period 2lst to 18th
outline that period, they will grow in strength
and magnitude as they reach our coasts and
march into our interior during the closing
days of the month";"
