[The original essay, entitled Autumn , of which this is a revised version, was written some eleven years ago when its author was still at school. At that time he could not have drawn the weather map (Fig. 1). This he added recently, after rewriting the essay. “It wasn't till Weather appeared”, he writes, “that I learnt a fuller explanation of the whys and wherefores of the happenings described in the essay. I venture to think that some others as young as I was then would be more interested in meteorology generally if it was brought to them via English weather rather than Atlas climatology and school physics”. Readers may be interested to contrast his colourful account of warm‐front rain with the succinct description presented by the weather map. Both describe aspects of the weather and each approach leads to a fuller appreciation of the other.—E ditors ]
