IS THE WEATHER CHANGINGi

IS THE WEATHER CHANGING?
 The question is frequently asked of the Weather Bureau service: Are our seasons changing? The answer is all most invariably No. Whenever any unusual spell of weather, either very hot or very cold, very dry or very wet, is upon us, we are apt to dwell upon the present abnormal condition until the mind is incapable of judging cor rectly, that is entirely free from any bias in the matter. It is seldom we have to go very far back to find worse conditions, sometimes for two or three consecutive years. When we come to average the principal weather conditions for ten, twenty, thirty:or more years lit is surprising to find what a degree of uniformity exists, very little if any perceptible difference as to dates or qualities of the weath- CT is found as far back as the recOros of the service go.
