Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? <\/i><\/p>\n

7338<\/b> How to Interpret Clouds<\/b><\/p>\n
Meteorologists make suggestions such as these for interpreting the clouds: Quickly moving, lowering clouds at dinner time foreshadow poorer weather by breakfast. Billowing, white clouds in summer indicate the likelihood of sudden showers. Dark clouds gathering on a western horizon betoken rain or snow. A cloud-filled summer sky at eventide betokens a hot night. <\/p>\n
7339<\/b> Improving The Forecast<\/b><\/p>\n
The computer has been responsible for an impressive improvement in the accuracy of weather predictions. Over a 10-year period, the forecasting of rain has improved to the point where the outlook for tomorrow is now as accurate as the forecast for tonight used to be. In other words, we\u2019ve made a 12-hour improvement in accuracy. <\/p>\n
The accuracy in temperature forecasting has improved, also. Our average error in a 24-hour temperature forecast now is only about 3\u00bd degrees. <\/p>\n
7340<\/b> Ring Around The Moon<\/b><\/p>\n
This is no longer considered an old wives\u2019 tale, that a round circle around the moon indicates that rain may come within twelve to eighteen hours. <\/p>\n
The circle does not go around the moon itself but only within our atmosphere. The reflected light from the moon is dispersed on reaching the earth\u2019s atmosphere, which is a relatively dense gas. During the summer months when the air is dry, a clear image of the moon is seen. However, during the rainy season the atmosphere is filled with water vapour; this causes the light from the moon to be reflected and refracted so as to create a \u201chalo around the moon.\u201d<\/p>\n
The brighter the halo, the better are chances for rain. <\/p>\n
7341<\/b> Groundhog To See His Shadow<\/b><\/p>\n
On the morning of February 2 each year a contingent of reporters and other curious types descend on the lowly diggings of the famous groundhog of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. Later in the day the wire services faithfully relay pictures and text to papers around the country, telling whether or not the groundhog saw his shadow so that we can know whether or not to expect six more weeks of winter. <\/p>\n
7342<\/b> Prediction Failures<\/b><\/p>\n
Weathermen have failed so often in forecasting the weather that they now hide behind such statement as, \u201cThere is a 10% or a 20% chance of rain.\u201d So, if it rains or not, they are \u201csafe\u201d in their prediction. <\/p>\n
One commentator says, \u201cThe Weather Bureau has changed its name to \u201cEnvironmental Science Services Administration\u2014and we still get six inches of snow when the forecast says \u201cPartly Cloudy.\u201d<\/p>\n

7343<\/b> Wet Rope When Raining<\/b><\/p>\n
A tourist stopped at a combination service station and general store in the country. An old man was basking in the sun, holding a short piece of rope. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s the rope for, sir?\u201d the tourist asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a weather gauge,\u201d replied the old man. <\/p>\n
Puzzled the tourist asked, \u201cHow can a piece of rope tell the weather?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSimple, sonny,\u201d said the old man. \u201cWhen it swings back and forth the wind is blowing. When it gets wet it\u2019s raining.\u201d<\/p>\n
7344<\/b> Epigram On Weather Prediction<\/b><\/p>\n
\u2022 One of the most annoying things about weather forecasts is that they\u2019re not wrong all the time, either. <\/p>\n
