From Internet I came to know that today (2nd August) is the 150th birthday of Weather Forecast. On 1st August, 1861, the Times newspaper published the first ever weather forecast. It was put together by Admiral Robert Fitzroy who led the meteorological deptt. then.
Happy birthday........weather forecast.
I rang up my friend at Kolkata ..... Mihir the previous night.......... who infmd me that they were passing thru hot & humid days. My friend Dilip's son (Papai) already e-mailed me of the same. Mihir also told me that there had been sufficient rainfall there; but, the gruelling heat remained.
Today morning, I read in Anandabazar patrika of kolkata, India that there had been a power failure of serious nature and the city was plunged into darkness, the previous night.
Here we also are passing thru hot days..........however, in the evening, thunderclouds roared and we recd. some amount of rainfall......... to mark the 150th anniversary of Weather forecast perhaps.
As regards ourselves....... we enjoyed complete rest & remained home all the while.
