Extractions: 55 BC Julius Caesar was thwarted in his first invasion of Britain because of strong north-westerly winds. Aug-Sept 1588 The Spanish Armada was wrecked during its retreat past Scotland and Ireland. The first Frost Fair was held on the frozen river Thames in London. It had tents, sideshows and food stalls. The climate between 1550 and 1750 was known as the Little Ice Age, when winters were so cold that the Thames froze over each year for many years, permitting the Frost Fairs. The last one was held in the winter of 1813-14. 2-6 Sept 1666 The Great Fire of London, which followed a prolonged dry spell, was made worse by a strong easterly wind which fanned the flames. A drought during 1665 and 1666 had left the wooden buildings of London as dry as tinder wood making it quicker for the fire to take hold. The fire destroyed thousands of houses and public buildings, including St Paul's Cathedral. 15 May 1697 effects on us physical health wealth morale working lives beliefs weather lore surroundings plants countryside animals birds houses clothing severe freak incidents disasters protection storm chasers weather dangers surviving influence climate change acid rain ozone hole global warming pollution human activities

http://www.austehc.unimelb.edu.au/fam/1294.html

Extractions: Prior to Federation, each of the six Australian States maintained its own combined Astronomical and Meteorological Service under a Government Astronomer, the headquarters in all cases being the capital city Observatory. The Federal Constitution made provision, in Section 51, sub-section VIII for State Meteorological Services to be united under Commonwealth control. Astronomy was to remain the function of the States. The Meteorological Act, No.3 of 1906, established the Commonwealth Bureau of Meteorology, but the new service did not come into operation until 1st January, 1908. A nucleus of senior Meteorologists from all State Observatories, except Tasmania, formed the professional staff in the early stages, and during those years Meteorologists of junior rank were added, also a Physiographer. A dwelling at the corner of Victoria and Drummond Streets, Carlton, was acquired to serve as a combined Head Office and Victorian Divisional Office. This building, named "Frosterley" had been the residence and professional rooms of Dr. Snowball, an eminent children's doctor of his time. The building, remodelled internally to some extent, and with new wings occupying space that was formerly devoted to lawns and gardens, still houses the headquarters of the Bureau and the Victorian Divisional Office.

http://weather.carleton.edu/weatherHistory/history.html

Extractions: Home Almanac Setup Tutorials ... Plot History The current weather project is a continuation of more than one hundred years of data-taking at Carleton. The Physics and Astronomy program at Carleton began under the leadership of William Wallace Payne hired as the first professor of 'Mathematics and Natural Philosophy' in 1871. Through his influence he was able to expand the program so that it gained the college national recognition. This expansion included the construction of the first astronomical observatory in Minnesota, and the creation of a time service that sent signals to the entire western half of the nation in the early 20th century. To learn more about Payne, the time service, and the history of astronomy at Carleton go to the Goodsell Observatory homepage Reporting the weather became one of the observatory's important functions in 1881 when a U.S. signal station was placed there. The U.S. Signal Corps was the branch of the government assigned to moniter weather , so in November of 1881 under the direction of Payne, the college began taking weather data for them. William Wallace Payne The weather information was also sent to local newspapers, and printed under Carleton's name as the only accurate source of local weather information. In 1883 William Payne was made director of the newly organized state weather service and the headquarters were established at Carleton (though they were moved to St. Paul in 1886, and the service was discontinued in 1889.)

http://www.islandnet.com/~see/weather/history/chicago-nickname.htm

Extractions: Naming the Windy City For many years, I have believed that Chicago received its nickname The Windy City as a consequence of its bidding war for the 1893 World's Fair. However, recently Barry Popik, a word-sleuth and consultant to the Oxford English Dictionary , has made me aware that the name had been applied at least a decade earlier in many newspapers and may have originated from weather considerations. Popik claims the title was self-bestowed as Chicago attempted to promote itself as a summer tourist destination, in reference to its refreshing lake breezes that provided relief from the hot summer weather (more on this below). He has also provided references to show that the moniker was used in newspapers as early as the 1880s. Popik claims the World's Fair origin is an urban legend, created in part by the Chicago Tribune Before I look at the nickname's possible origins prior to the World's Fair bid, let me give you the story that I previously believed to be true. During the 1889-1890 bidding for the World's Fair of 1893, Chicago advocates put on a rather long-winded presentation and campaign to win approval. The choice narrowed down to Chicago, New York, Washington and St Louis, and the competition before Congress among these cities was fierce and at times ugly. (The world's fair of 1993, known as the Columbian Exposition , was intended to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's landing in America, but was actually held in 1893, a year later than had been planned.)

Extractions: To Visit Our Recommended Home Weather Stations and Instruments Supplier The Encarta Encyclopedia defines weather as the âstate of the atmosphere at a particular time and place.â Weather has played a major role in the history of humankind. Droughts, ice ages, and storms have all had dramatic effects on where Homo sapiens, its predecessors, and descendents evolved, moved, and thrived. From earliest times, observed that ice and snow were dangerous, and we huddled in our caves and built fires for warmth. When we moved from a hunter-gatherer society into an agricultural one, we grew to know that plants grew in the rain and sun and slept during the cold seasons. The ancient Greek scholar Aristotle wrote a treatise in 340 B.C. that presented the sum of then current knowledge of natural sciences including weather. Meteor was the term for anything that fell from the sky or could be seen in the sky. The word for the study of weather, meteorology, comes from the Greek meteoros, which literally means, âhigh in the sky.â A few years later, another Greek wrote a book on weather forecasting and called it the Book of Signs. Weather Forecasting Some of the weather forecasting lore that is still recognizable today came from the works of that author, Theophrastus. He said that you could foretell what the weather would be by paying attention to signs. A ring around the moon, for example, meant rain. The ancient Greeksâ methods of predicting weather evolved into keeping records of weather around the 14th century, but meteorology did not become an actual science until the development of weather instruments. Galileo invented a thermometer in the late sixteenth century, and his student, Torricelli, invented the barometer a few years later.

Extractions: To Visit Our Recommended Home Weather Stations and Instruments Supplier The basic elements of a weather station include a thermometer to record temperature, a rain gauge to measure rainfall, a weather vane to show wind direction, a barometer to measure atmospheric pressure, an anemometer to measure wind velocity, a hygrometer to measure relative humidity, and, for the weather enthusiast, a journal to record readings data. You must first determine what you want to measure. Then make a suitable chart so that you can record the data by hour or date. If you are computer literate, you can record the data onto a spreadsheet and create graphs and charts. Most of what you need can be made at home and can be an excellent project to share with your children. But, if you're someone who likes gadgets, you will probably want to find the appropriate toys. You can find a relatively complete stand-alone home weather station for around $400. A full-featured home weather station should include all of the items listed in the above paragraph. Most of the components will be battery powered. Some may be wireless or solar powered. Build Your Own Home Weather Station You can still build your own home weather station by buying the components separately. You can find everything from hand-held weather meters to digital barometers and software for logging data. Or you can go in the simplest direction and purchase traditional instruments mounted on attractive wooden bases and designed for in-home use. Along the same lines, you can find weather forecast stations also mounted on wooden bases and featuring easy-to-read graphics.

http://www2.sunysuffolk.edu/mandias/38hurricane/weather_history_38.html

Extractions: Weather History of the '38 Hurricane O ne must keep in mind that back in 1938 there were no weather satellites, no weather radar, and no offshore weather buoys. The storm was tracked as it moved west from Africa and toward the Bahamas Islands. The U.S. Weather Bureau (now called National Weather Service) knew it was a powerful storm as it had reached category 5 strength on September 19 but it was believed that this hurricane would curve out to sea before reaching the Northeast. The Bureau tracked the storm on the 21st as it was off the coast of Norfolk, V.A., now a category 3 storm. A large area of high pressure was located over the Atlantic Ocean just east of the coast which kept the storm close to the coast and moving northeastward. Charlie Pierce, a young research forecaster for the Bureau concluded that the storm would not continue to move northeast and curve out to sea but would instead track due north. He was overruled by more senior meteorologists and the official forecast was for cloudy skies and gusty conditions - but no hurricane (Francis, 1998). Because the official forecast was not cause for alarm, even as the winds picked up speed and the waves rolled in, nobody realized that a catastrophe was only a few hours away. I nstead of recurving out to sea, the storm moved due north and accelerated in forward speed to 70 mph. In the history of hurricanes, this is the fastest known forward speed recorded. The incredible forward speed of the storm caused wind speeds on the eastern side of the hurricane to be extremely fast. Because hurricane winds rotate counter-clockwise, the winds to the east of the eye are moving from south to north. Because the hurricane was also moving in the same direction, the forward speed added to the already powerful winds. Eastern Long Island and New England would later be hit with wind speeds that exceeded 180 mph!

Extractions: Weather History Sources With all things on this site, I try to source credit everything I use. In this case, this project took close to 8 months to complete. I wanted to add this feature to my site for many years as I loved coming everyday to see what happened on that day. Over this time period, there were so many internet sources I used, many of those sites closed or disappeared before I released this feature. I also went to Environment Canada's Library in Downsview for some added references. I have used various sources of data over the net. For those facts about the weather, I used various general weather books outlined below For some of the weather history, I used a few weather history calendars by the weather god and guru David Phillips. I only used about 50 days worth of data in this project because I know he does his research and should get paid for it.. His calendars have a wealth of information and can be bought here .

One tornado, which formed near Cleo Springs, in Major County, damaged the southern and eastern parts of Lahoma. The storm killed one person and injured 25 others. A second tornado struck the Fairview area and flipped an airplane that was taxiing down a runway. The two occupants were not injured. Extremely large hail was also common. A huge chunk of hail, 17 inches in circumference, fell in Woods County, softball-size hail fell in Mulhall, and baseball-size hail fell in Enid. May 3: The coldest May temperature ever observed in Oklahoma City occurred on May 3, 1954. That morning, the temperature fell to a chilly 32 degrees, which is also the latest spring freeze ever recorded in the city.
