"Meteorology; or, Weather Explained" by J. G. M'Pherson is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. It aims to demystify various meteorological phenomena and provides a thorough understanding of weather patterns, atmospheric conditions, and the impact of dust particles. Throughout the text, M'Pherson draws from established scientific principles while incorporating practical observations to elucidate the complexities of weather. At the start of the work, the author discusses the omnipresence and
significance of weather in daily life, stressing its role in influencing both business and leisure. He observes common expressions related to weather and emphasizes how, despite the reliance on traditional weather lore, a scientific approach reveals a more profound understanding.
