Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of the Association of American Geographers, 1914, Vol. 4 The essence of this cyclonic control is its irregularity. It is Obvious, therefore, that its etfects upon all the meteorological elements must largely disappear when the conventional time units are taken as the basis for averaging climatic data. Annual, monthly, diurnal averages Of the different climatic elements, when given numerically, or even when charted, are therefore Often misleading. They give but a lifeless pic ture. They do not show how and why the conditions which they aim to represent were really brought about. It is the irregular weather changes from day to day which give most of our climates their real character, affecting our activities, crops, comfort, and health.2 The average or normal weather of a season, a month, or even a day, is known for much of our country. It seems as if we could thus make long-range forecasts. But average weather is not what may actually happen. And it is the actual, not the normal, which we really experience.
