Weather Lore Volume III: A Collection of Proverbs, Sayings and Rules Concerning the Weather – The Elements: Clouds, Mists, Haze, Dew, Fog, Rain, Rainbows - Hardcover
Synopsis
- A year-round topical subject, through our daily lives, or the larger topics of climate change
- Focus on UK lore, but also includes sayings and lore from countries all over the world
Much is to be gleaned by the countryman who watches from the hilltop the drifting of the clouds, the descending of mists, the presence of dew, or the coming of rain.
Accurate weather predictions have always been an important human ambition and one that for some could ensure their success or failure. The result has been the framing of a rough set of rules about the weather. Some of these observations have become proverbs; others have taken the shape of rhymes; while many have been passed down by word of mouth, as mere records of facts.

About the Author
Richard Inwards was born in 1840, and lived a fascinating life traveling the world in his capacity as a manager of international mining projects. From Norway to Bolivia, meteorological studies remained his main interest, and after settling in England he became joint editor of the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society. He became president of the society in 1894, following Weather Lore's publication the previous year.
