Переведите george got hold of the paper, and read us the weather forecast “rain, cold, wet to fine, occasional local thunderstorms, eastwind with general depression over the ‘midland counties’.” i dothink that, of all the silly, irritating tomfoolishness by which weare plagued, this “weather forecast” fraud is about the most aggravating. it “forecasts” precisely what happened yesterday orthe day before, and precisely the opposite of what is going tohappen today.i remember a holiday of mine being completely ruined onelate autumn by our paying attention to the weather report of thelocal newspaper. “heavy showers, with thunderstorms, may beexpected today,” it would say, and so we would give up our picnic, and stop indoors all day, waiting for the rain. and peoplewould pass the house, going off in wagonettes and coaches asjolly and merry as could be, the sun shining out, and not a cloudto be seen.“ah,” we said, as we stood looking out at them through thewindow, “won’t they come home soaked! ”and we chuckled to think how wet they were going to get.by twelve o’clock, with the sun pouring into the room, the heatbecame quite oppressive, and we wondered when those heavyshowers and occasional thunderstorms were going to begin. atone o’clock the landlady would come in to ask if we weren’t going out, as it seemed such a lovely day.“no, no,” we replied, with a knowing chuckle, “not we. wedon’t mean to get wet — no, no.” but not a drop ever fell, and itfinished a grand day, and a lovely night after it.the next morning we would read that it was going to be a“warm fine to setfair day, much heat,” and we would dress ourselves in flimsy things, and go out, and, halfanhour after wehad started, it would commence to rain hard, and a bitterly coldwind would spring up, and both would keep on steadily for thewhole day, and we could come home with cools and rheumatismall over us, and go to bed.the weather is a thing that is beyond me altogether. i nevercan understand it.​
