WHAT FAIR WEATHER

Front page news for good many
people begins with the little box IN
the upper corner of the paper that
tells them whether or not to leave
their umbrellas at home in the
morning. A prophecy of flair" is
often disappointing, for the term
may include a cloudy or threaten
ing sky, or even a slight sprinkle,
not enough to dampen the front
lawn, but quite enough to spot a
new spring hat. Is the weather
man wrong, or merely misunder-
stood?
One difficulty is that flair" as
applied to weather is a meteorolog-
ical term. Most dictionaries take
note of this in defining the word,
f. the lay reader of the news
paper, hoping for beautifully clear
day, may expect too much. Official
observers of weather conditions are
told to use the word fair" in rem
dering reports. The Weather Blu
reau of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture on it's forecast
work considers a day as flair" when
not more than 0.01 inch of precipa-
tation is expected to occur within
the period covered by the forecast.
By PRECIPITATION is meant rain, or
snow reduced to its water equiv
alent. The term has in the past
also been used, although not in fore
casts, to denote a state of the sky
between overcast and clear. The
expressions CLOUDY" or partly
cloudy" are notifications of a fair
weather forecast, indicating that the
weather is not expected to be clear.
Looking over various dictionary
definitions and standards set for I
Weather Bureau observers, fair
is generally found to embrace a GER =,
tain degree of cloudiness and I'M
settled conditions. In forecasts it
signifies absence of measurable pre-
cipitation.
