Letter Re: Advice on Post-WTSHTF Weather Forecasting and Barometers
Sir:
I just realized that if the Schumer impacts the oscillator that we won't have a
clue about upcoming weather without the National Weather Service. Being
able to predict future weather will be very important for gardening, hay cutting,
and on and on. What do you recommend? A barometer? Thx, - Barry
JWR Replies: A barometer is indeed the most important forecasting
tool. Luckily, they are fairly easy to find in second hand stores. Make sure
that you get one with a finely-gradated scale and with a proper elevation offset
adjustment in the back. (If you live at high elevation--such as Colorado--be
advised that not all barometers have adjustments that go that high!) If you
want a new barometer, there are several models available from Wind & Weather (one
of our affiliate advertisers). From now until the end of May, they have a
special SurvivalBlog $15 discount on any purchase over $100. Use coupon code "WSAS".
OBTW, be sure refer to the
recent discussion in SurvivalBlog about do-it-yourself forecasting, including
sky-reading.
