"Meteorology; or, Weather Explained" by J. G. M'Pherson is a book that explores the science shaping our everyday weather. The book starts by highlighting how deeply weather affects our lives, from our jobs to our free time, and explains that although people often rely on old sayings about the weather, science offers deeper insight. The author uses scientific ideas and real-world examples to teach about weather patterns, what's happening in the air, and how even tiny dust particles play a role. The opening also mentions the work of Dr. John Aitken and looks at things like dew, frost, fog, and how weather forecasts are made.
