In nature there is much repetition: 'One day telleth another;! we must not be weary of successive similarities.

Forecasters should always remember that a table of the tamest nature, even having only indications of the quietest and dullest character, has much absolute value in declaring, expressively, No bad weather. Snow, Harris, --Franklin--Fowder Magazines--Beagle's Voyage, &c. 234 PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY A few more words, on the subject of districts to be cautioned by signal, may be advisable before ending this chapter. Against signalling too frequently, as well as too extensively, caution should be urged, lest 'Wolf should come while unprepared; but, on the other hand, it is better to risk occasional error in excess, than to let danger arrive without a warning, by which mistake lives may be sacrificed. It is not the centrical area of a storm, but the course of strongest wind around such a space, that should be most considered; and as this circuitous sweep of a gale is irregularly altered by configurations of land, such local circumstances and conditions should be always intimately known by personal acquaintance or accurate description.

Meteorology Manual follows a similar concept to the well-received Astronomy Manual, aiming to provide an easy-to-read introduction for newcomers to the subject, while providing a sufficient level of detail to prove useful to those who also have a basic understanding of the subject. This extensively illustrated book will follow the familiar Haynes Manual style, with down-to-earth text, supported by colour diagrams and photographs, including, where appropriate, step-by-step sequences of cloud and weather system formations. There is increasing interest in learning about how weather systems are formed, what causes variations in the weather, and how to study and predict the movement of weather systems to enable weather forecasting, all which can be found in this book.
