When we read a report from any of
the luu regular weather bureau std
tlons throughout our land bringing the
information that a rainstorm, ' a tor
nado or some other meteorological phe
notuenou began at a certain hour we
need -not suppose tliat tbe hour men
tloued refers to the time at" tbe. place
where the observation was made. The!
hour given la the exact New York time,
for every clock at the regular weather
bureau stations alt over the land is set
to the teveoty-nftbi' meridian, or east
ern "standard time, ; which la exactly
five hours behind Greenwich time.
; Only tbl standard of time ia us4d
la the text of the Monthly Weather
Review, and all . weather bureau ob
servers are required to record observi-
tions by It. The reason for this is that
the best scientific deductions from the
weather reports 'must be based upon
the conditions of tbe atmosphere exist
ing simultaneously In different (parts
of the country.' . xt
- It would be very ludicrous if all the
nunareus or report sent asiiy nsa to
be changed at the central' office in
Washington from local- to eastern time,
and so all tbe regular observers are re
quired ii use. the New York, of eastern
time, in making their reports.
There are many volunteer observers
and newspaper correspondents who in
reporting weather phenomena use oth
er standards of time. If tbe weather
bureau has occasion, to .use their re
ports the time Is often , corrected to
