Summary: "Reading the Weather" by T. Morris Longstreth is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book explores the principles of meteorology, aiming to demystify weather patterns and phenomena while empowering readers to observe and interpret the signs of changing weather conditions themselves. It emphasizes a rational approach to understanding the complexities of the atmosphere and offers practical insights for people who spend time outdoors. At the start of the book, Longstreth introduces the importance of scientific inquiry in understanding weather, contrasting it with historical superstitions surrounding atmospheric phenomena. He discusses key concepts such as the structure of the atmosphere, the roles of anticyclones and cyclones in our climate, and the significance of observing sky signs and winds for accurate weather predictions. The opening portion sets the foundation for a systematic exploration of meteorological principles, encouraging lay readers to engage with the science underpinning everyday weather changes.
