"value" : "But Will Apia Weather The Weather? West Samoans lately have been taking a close look at Apia weather records in the hope of getting a clue about the state of the weather next January 1 to 5 —the days when West Samoa’s independence ence celebrations will be going ing on at full pelt. Their conclusions: The chance of getting even one fine day in this period is one in six. The celebrations could be a washout meteorologically ally speaking anyhow. Since 1944, the average rainfall fall per day during the fiveday day period in question has been .63 inches. On January 5, 1944, Apia received more than four inches of rain, with a total of more than seven inches over the five days. Apia’s weekly Samoana reported ported in August that when the festivities were being planned on a high level the argument that the whole spirit of the celebrations would be lost if they did not take place at the time of granting of independence and that God would take care of the weather, won. There had been considerable opposition by those who felt it would be better to hold the greater part of the celebrations in June when the weather was almost certain to be fine. Samoana commented that many Samoans predicted the organisers were “just inviting a flop.”",

Hot Winds.— When the Barometer falls while the Thermometer meter rises, hot winds may be expected. Dusky fibrous clouds in the western horizon at sunset are a sure sign of hot north winds next day. Clouds. — Fibrous, streaky, or spray-like clouds, termed 'Cirrhus, are the precursors of wind. Dark clouds with white tops, termed Cumulus, are indicative of thunderstorms or showers. Wavy or mottled clouds, streams of light radiating from the sun, or dark clouds in the western horizon at sunset, portend rain- Broken white clouds generally mean dry weather- When the clouds disperse before the sun or moon, or keep it -obscured, rain is near. Haze around the horizon in summer indicates that the atmosphere is heavily charged with moisture, and heavy rains in some parts will soon follow. Rainbows. — A morning rainbow foretells showers during the day; an evening rainbow may be followed by light showers during the night, but generally it will be fine next day. fogs.— Fogs denote that both the soil and the atmosphere are charged with moisture, and that the temperature is greatest est nearest the surface.

"value" : "NEW ZEALAND TELEGRAPHIC WEATHER INTELLIGENCE. Weather Forecast Signals. GENERAL INFORMATION. The weather signals consist of two symbols, a black cone and a black drum. The cone is three feet high and three feet wide at the base, and the drum is three feet high and three feet wide at either end. These signals will be used either with or without the International Code Pennant F, and will be shown only in reply to inquiry as to probable changes of weather, and from the undermentioned places between the hours of 8 am. and 6 p.m., viz.: — North Island : Cape Maria Van Diemen and Tiri Tiri Lighthouse stations. South Island : Cape Campbell, Gape Foulwind, wind, and Farewell Spit Lighthouse stations. Mariners desirous of obtaining information as to probable changes of weather are requested to use the International Code Signal QJ for that purpose, and they are cautioned that weather forecast signals are not to be considered as covering a distance greater than a radius of 200 miles from the place at which they are hoisted, The weather forecast for the day will be forwarded warded from Wellington as soon as possible after 10 a.m., Sundays and telegraph holidays excepted. Such messages ought to reach their destination, at latest, about noon on the day they are issued. The international code pennant F hoisted below any weather signal made between the hours of 8 a.m. and noon, will always indicate that such signal belongs to the forecast of the previous day Weather .signals made by symbols only will always indicate that the forecast belongs to the day upon which they are hoisted. The international code penant D when hoisted alone will indicate that the forecast for the day has not been received from Wellington. To prevent unnecessary delay at the lighthouse house signal stations.s hipmasters are requested to hoist the code answering pennant in reply to the weather forecast signals. EXPLANATION OP SIGNALS. Moderate Weather.-—This will be indicated cated by the drum being hoisted. CAUTIONARY SIGNALS. Northerly Gales.—The cone hoisted point upwards w'll denote that strong winds or gales are probable from the northward : that is from about north-east changing by the north towards west. N.B. —This change of wind is usually followed by strong winds or gales from the southward. Southerly Gales.—The cone hoisted point downwards will denote that strong winds or gales are probable from the southward, that is from about west, changing to the south-west towards south. N.B. —After these gales have moderated the wind generally backs to the north-west or to the north; but should the southerly gale continue for a longer time than usual the wind may be expected to work round as far as south-east. Easterly Gales. —The cone hoisted point upwards with the cone befow, will denote that strong winds or gales are probable from the eastward, that is. from about north changing towards the east and south. N.B. —This change of wind denotes a black north-easter and an approaching cyclone. Unusual Gales. —The cone hoisted point downwards with the drum below will indicate probable strong winds or gales from about south, changing by the eastward towards north.",

"description" : [ {
"value" : "COME WIND, COME WEATHER How to Make a Weather Vane By JAMES PICKERINC IHAD always regarded the weather vane as a mere affectation in modern life, smacking somewhat what of the “arty crafty” attitude, until I came to live next door to a man who owned one. It is true that I harbored a sneaking affection for the gay little roosters or the austere arrows swivelling in the wind, but the utilitarian point of view escaped me. Nowadays I know better. The significance of a northerly wind; or the rain following an easterly; no longer is lost on me. I can pick the best positions for hanging out the washing, and I know when to expect the chimney to smoke. And my neighbor, rejoicing in all these things, rejoices also in possessing sessing one of those little features which help to give a character of its own to the home beautiful. A farming friend’s request for a vane a little above the ordinary “bit o’ tin on a stick” has prompted the writing of this article. As is often the case, the only difference between a satisfactory piece of work and a commonplace job lies in the design. There is little more work in the better article—but far more thought. The first consideration should be for the actual mechanical aspect—the “works”. The most important tant part of these is the pivot, and this in turn depends on the support. This latter is a piece of mild steel seven sixteenths of an inch in diameter. Brass is preferable as it can be more easily soldered and is rust resistant. Various means for attaching the lower end to the pole or building will be dealt with below. The top end has a conical depression made in it by means of a quarter inch drill. Take care that this is drilled in the exact centre. Next take an eight inch length of half-inch conduit or other similar light tubing, and plug one end for a distance of one inch. This can be accomplished either by driving a tight fitting piece of metal rod, (in which case drill a conical hole in its lower end, similar to that in the upper end of the support) or by covering the end with clay and pouring molten lead down the tube. When the vane is assembled, a steel ball threeeighths eighths of an inch in diameter covered with vaseline is placed on top of the support, and the tube lowered over it, thus producing a very free-running ball bearing pivot. The pointer itself can take innumerable forms. The cock is traditional in England, whereas older generations of Americans seem to have preferred a running horse. Fish are not uncommon, and of recent years a scenic trend has been observed— again in America. Whatever is used, two conditions must be fulfilled. The area of the vane must be very much greater at one end, which is better longer than the other, and the two ends must approximately mately balance in weight. This latter balance is only to decrease friction at the bearing, and is often disregarded, but attention to it will result in a better running vane, and is well worth while. This is accomplished by weighting the smaller end with lead. Indeed it would not be too much to make the pointer from a sheet of lead if this will give the necessary balance. The rod itself can be of quarter-inch round mild steel. For a more substantial job it would be as well to use 5-16 in. steel rod. It passes through the plug above the bearing, and is soldered in place. I have drawn a number of suitable designs on the page containing taining the diagrams. These are “squared-up” to allow them to be enlarged easily. Cut them out of stout black or galvanised iron. This is best worked with an ordinary fretsaw fitted with a metal-cutting blade. As an alternative method use tinsnips and a cold chisel, finishing off with a file. In either case a punch will make most of the holes necessary. The flimsier pieces may be reinforced by soldering a piece of stout wire along both sides—for example along the leg of the rooster. Attach the cut-out shapes to the quarter-inch rod by soldering along their entire length, and by slitting the end of the rod to allow the insertion of a lug which you will leave projecting from the tin. A very superior job can be made by using copper or brass sheet instead of iron, and brass rod and tube instead of mild steel and conduit. In time this assumes a beautiful green patina, but at the time of writing it is difficult to obtain copper. I merely mention it for the handyman who will turn this article up in his file of the “Home Beautiful” in the distant future! It is not necessary to fit the vane with the direction tion indicators, but since we are making our vane with at least one eye to its decorative value, they should be included. They consist of the letters N. S. E. W., cut from iron and mounted on the ends of shorter rods, which in turn are attached to the supporting rod. These smaller rods could be quarterinch inch diameter mild steel, ten inches long. They are best held in place by two special washers, as illustrated; trated; one above and one below. The enthusiast will perhaps add curly brackets—but don’t overdo them. The letters may be fixed to the sides or the ends of the rods. The final consideration is the means of attaching to the building. If the vane is for the top of a flag or wireless pole, simply drill a seven-sixteenth inch hole vertically down through the top and drive the supporting rod home. Alternatively, for those who wish to make a first-class vane, the supporting rod could be screwed into a metal base, which could be firmly screwed on to the cap on the top of the pole. On the other hand if it is to be attached to the end or side of a building, drill two or three quarter-inch holes in the rod and countersink them for wood screws. A mounting for a ridge may be made by splitting a piece of waterpipe pipe of a size to take the rod firmly, and bending and drilling as shown. Black gas piping, if obtainable able would be easier to bend and would not be so liable to fracture. If your vane is of iron, give it two coats of some good black paint of the kind suitable for metals— not ordinary house paint, unless nothing better is obtainable. Black is better than a color. It takes the weather well, and emphasises the silhouette against the sky, whereas the use of color merely breaks up the outline and detracts from the effect. On the other hand a copper vane should be left severely alone. Nothing you can do to it will compare pare with the lovely surface that time and weather imparts. You have smeared the ball bearing with vaseline line or car grease, and a further smear around the support where the tube touches it should afford all the lubrication needed for many years. When more grease is needed the vane can easily be lifted off. I have left consideration of mechanical vanes— these include propellers, etc., and various novelties in the way of moving figures, until somebody asks for details. They can hardlv be classified as architectural tectural features, coming rather under the heading of toys.

"value" : "NEW ZEALAND TELEGRAPHIC WEATHER INTELLIGENCE. Weather Forecast Signals. GENERAL INFORMATION. The weather signals consist of two symbols, a black cone and a black drum. The cone is tliree feet high and three feet wide at the base, and the drum is three feet high and three feet wide at either end. These signals will be used either with or without the International Code Pennant F, and will be shown only in reply to inquiry as to probable changes of weather, and from the undermentioned places between the hours of 8 am. and 6 p.m., viz.:— North Island : <- ape Maria Van Diemen and Tiri Tiri Lighthouse stations. South Island : Cape Campbell, Cape Foulwind, wind, and Farewell Spit Lighthouse stations. Mariners desirous of obtaining information as to probable changes of weather are requested to use the International Code Signal QJ for that purpose, and they are cautioned that weather forecast signals are not to be considered as covering a distance greater than a radius of 200 miles from the place at which they are hoisted, The weather forecast for the day will be forwarded warded from Wellington as soon as possible after 10 a.m., Sundays and telegraph holidays excepted. Such messages ought to reach their destination, at latest, about noon on the day they are issued. The international code pennant F hoisted below any weather signal made between the hours of 8 a.m. and noon, will always indicate that such signal belongs to the forecast of the previous day Weather signals made by symbols only will always indicate that the forecast belongs to the day upon which they are hoisted. The international code penant D when hoisted alone will indicate that the forecast for the day has not been received from Wellington. To prevent unnecessary delay at the lighthouse house signal stations, shipmasters are requested to hoist the code answering pennant in reply to the weather forecast signals. EXPLANATION OF SIGNALS. Moderate Weather.—This will be indicated cated by the drum being hoisted. CAUTIONARY SIGNALS. Northerly Gales.—The cone hoisted point upwards w'll denote that strong winds or gales are probable from the northward : that is from about north-east changing by the north towards west. N.B. —This change of wind is usually followed by strong winds or gales from the southward. Southerly Gales.—The cone hoisted point downwards will denote that strong winds or gales are probable from the southward, that is from about west, changing to the south-west towards south. N.B. —After these gales have moderated the wind generally backs to the north-west or to the north; but should the southerly gale continue for a longer time than usual the wind may be expected to work round as far as south-east. Easterly Gales.—The cone hoisted pointupwards upwards with the cone below, will denote that strong winds or gales are probable from the eastward, that is from about north changing towards the east and south. N.B. —This change of wind denotes a black north-easter and an approaching cyclone. Unusual Gales.—The cone hoisted point downwards with the drum below will indicate probable strong winds or gales from about south, changing by the eastwai d towards north.",

"value" : "HERSCHEL’S WEATHER TABLE, FOR FORETELLING THE WEATHER THROUGHOUT EACH YEAR, FOR EVER. This table, and the accompanying remarks, are the result of many years’ observation, vation, the whole being constructed on a due consideration of the attraction of the Sun and Moon, in their several positions respecting the Earth, and will, by simple inspection, show the observer what kind of weather will most probably follow the entrance of the Moon into any of its quarters, and that so near the truth as to be seldom or never found to fail. If New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon or Last quarter, happens In Summer. In Winter. Between midnight and 2 o’clock Fair Frost, unless wind S.W. „ 2 and 4, morning ,, 4 and 6 ,, Cold and showers ..

Fair and frosty, if wind N. or N.E. ,, 8 and 10 ,, ,, 10 and midnight Rainy, if S. or S.W. Fair .. Rain or snow, if S. or S.W. Fair and frosty. Observations. —1. The nearer the time of the Moon’s change, first quarter, full and last quarter are to midnight, the fairer will be the weather during the next seven days. 2. The space for this calculation occupies from ten at night till two next morning. 3. The nearer to midday or noon the phases of the Moon happens, the more foul or wet weather may be expected during the next seven days. 4. The space for this calculation occupies from ten in the forenoon to two in the afternoon. These observations refer principally to the summer, though they affect spring and autumn nearly in the same ratio. 5. The Moon’s change, first quarter, full, and last quarter happening during six of the afternoon hours, i. e., from four to ten, may be followed by fair weather; but this is mostly dependent on the wind, as is noted in the table. 6. Though the weather, from a variety of irregular causes, is more uncertain in the latter part of autumn, the whole of winter, and beginning of spring, yet in the main the above observations will apply to those periods also. 7. To prognosticate correctly, where the wind is concerned, a vane should be in sight. WEATHER INDICATIONS. Sunset Colours. —A grey, lowering sunset, or one where the sky is green or yellowish green, indicates rain. A red sunrise, with clouds lowering later in the morning, also indicates rain. Halo (sun dogs).—By halo we mean the large circles, or parts of circles, about the sun or moon. A halo occurring after fine weather indicates a storm. Corona. —By this term we mean the small coloured circles frequently seen around the sun or moon. A corona growing smaller indicates rain; growing larger, fair weather. Rainbows. —A morning rainbow is regarded as a sign of rain ; an evening rainbow, of fair weather. Sky Colour. —A deep blue colour of the sky, even when seen through clouds, indicates fair weather; a growing whiteness, an approaching storm. Fog.—Fogs indicate settled weather. A morning fog usually breaks away before noon. Visibility.—Unusual clearness of the atmosphere, unusual brightness or twinkling of the stars, indicate rain. Clouds. —In observing clouds we observe their kinds, motions, and outlines. The clouds frequently called •‘mares’ tails” we term Cirrhi. They are marked by their light texture, fibrous and sundered as in the “ mare’s tail,” or interlacing as in the far-spreading white cloud, which produces the halo. Small, regularlyformed formed groups of these clouds are frequently seen in fair and settled weather. The Cirrhi are also the clouds on the forepart of the storm. In this case they are usually more abundant, their outline is very ragged, and they generally blend into a white, far-reaching cloud-bank. The cloud well known as “cotton bales,” or “thunder heads,” we term cumulus. When they appear during the heat of the day and pass away in the evening, continued fair weather may be expected. When they increase with rapidity, sink into the lower part of the atmosphere, and remain as the evening approaches, rain is at hand. If loose patches appear thrown out from their surfaces, showers may be expected. The clouds usually seen after nightfall, lying in one horizontal plane and not of great extent, are attendant on fine weather. Small, black, inky clonus and dark scud indicate rain. Barometer.—ln using the barometer, -we should notice whether it be greatly above or below the mean height, and the rapidity of its rise or fall. If it be higher and steady, continued fair, though not cloudless, weather may be expected. If it be lower and falling, rain, or at least damp, cloudy weather, is at hand. A rapid rise or fall (greater than 0.01 inch per hour) indicates continued unsettled weather and much wind.",

"value" : "WEATHER INDICATIONS AND TIDES. Definition of Terms.—Changeable means changing from clear sky to cloudy, with fibrous clouds and indications of rain, but generally little or mo rain. Stormy, boisterous winds and gusty show’ers. Fine, no rain, but net necessarily a clear sky all the time. Very hot and sultry weather and north wflnds generally precede rain in summer. Sultriness is therefore fore an indication of approaching rain. It is caused by the sun’s action upon a moist atmosphere, or the approach of heated vapours from the Tropics. When there is a good rainfall little notice is taken of it, but in a drought year every shower is reported and magnified. Bain is measured by a gauge, and the values given represent the depth of water which would have accumulated on a level piece of ground if none ©f the rain which fell could escape by drainage or evaporation. Weather Wisdom. —Some indications of the weather arc: —A rosy sky at sunset means fine weather, in the morning strong wind. A high dawn also indicates wind, a low dawn fine weather. Hard-edged, oily looking clouds also indicate wind, and generally the softer the clouds look the less wind there will be. Soft clouds, however, are generally forerunners of rain. Light, delicate-tinted clouds at great heights mean always fine weather; gaudy, strong coloured clouds at low heights mean wind and rain. Owls and other night-birds are “noisy” before fine weather, and sea-birds fly out early and far; parrots are “noisy” before rain, and long-flighted birds, e.g., rooks and swallows, hang about home and fly up and down near the ground. Sugar hardens before frost or fine weather, and gets soft before rain or snow. The Tides. —The tides follow the moon around the world. Spring, or the highest, tides happen at new and full moons. At new moon th© moon is between the sun and the earth, and at full moon the earth is between the sun and the moon. Neap, or the lowest, tides happen when the moon is at right angles to the meridian of the sun and the earth, or at first and last quarters. The highest spring tides are at the equinoxes, when the sun is directly over the equator. It is, therefore, probable that the moon’s power of attraction may be. like its light, derived from the sun. In that case the sun would be the real cause of the tides. The progress of the tide round the gobe causes the sea to rise at each place for about six hours. This is called the flow of the tide. For about the next six hours it falls, or ebbs. Thus the tide flows and ebbs twice in about 24 hours. It is, however, so affected by winds and other causes that the actual and computed times of high water occasionally differ to the extent of three hours: while at some ports (for instance, Normanton, on the Gulf of Carpentaria) there is only one tide in 24 hours, which during the south-east monsoons frequently fails altogether gether for three or four days. Tide tables are not, therefore, very reliable. The tides are about 50 minutes later each succeeding day. Weather Indications. —If the barometer rises gradually it will be fine for at least a few days. A falling barometer indicates north wind, followed by rain; a sudden fall, a thunderstorm or violent storm; and a rapid rise, more rain after one fine day. A light-blue sky indicates continued fine weather; and a bright-blue sky, unsettled conditions. A fine day follows a red sunset, a grey sky in the morning, or a dewy night. Fibrous clouds, or cirrus, precede wind. A halo, or corona, round the sun or moon is followed by stormy weather. Dusky fibrous clouds in th© west at sunset indicate a warm north wind next day. If sunset is obscured by dark clouds there will be rain next day. Wave-like cloud© portend rain; broken white clouds, dry weather. Climate.—An important feature in the constitution of the climate of a country is its rainfall. As a rule, more rain falls on sea coasts and islands than in inland districts, among mountains and hills than on level country, and in the Tropics than in higher latitudes.",

"value" : "WEATHER INDICATIONS AND TIDES. Definition of Terms.—Changeable means changing from clear sky to cloudy with fibrous clouds and indications of rain, but generally little or no rain Stormy, boisterous winds and gusty showers. Fine, no ram, but not necessarily a clear sky all the time. Very hot and sultry weather and north winds generally precede rain in summer. Sultriness is therefore fore an indication of approaching rain. It is caused by the sun s action upon a moist atmosphere, or the approach of heated vapours from the Tropics. When there is a good rainfall little notice is taken of it, but in a drought year every shower is reported and magnified. Rain is measured by a gauge, and the values given represent the depth of water which would have accumulated on a level piece of ground it none of the rain which fell could escape by drainage or evaporation. Weather Wisdom. —Some indications of the weather are:—A rosy sky at sunset means fine weather, in the morning strong wind. A high dawn also indicates wind, a low dawn fine weather. Hard-edged oily looking clouds also indicate wind, and generally the softer the clouds look the less wind there will be. Soft clouds, however, are generally forerunners of rain. Light, delicate-tinted clouds at great heights mean always fine weather; gaudy, strong coloured clouds at low heights mean wind and rain. Owls and other night-birds are “noisy .before fine weather, and sea-birds fly out early and far; parrots are noisy before rain, and long-flighted birds, e.g., rooks and swallows, hang about home and fly up and down near the ground. Sugar hardens before frost or fine weather, and gets soft before rain or snow. The Tides. —The tides follow the moon around the world. Spring, or the highest, tides happen at new and full moons At new moon the moon is between the sun and the earth, and at full moon the earth i« between the sun and the moon. Neap, or the tides when the moon is at right angles to the meridian of the sun and the earth, or at first and last quarters. The highest spring tides are at the equinoxes, when the sun is directly over the equator It is, therefore, probable that the moon’s power of attraction may be, llke lts derived from the sun. In that case the sun would be the real cause of the tides The progress of the tide round the globe causes the sea to rise at each place for about six hours. This is called the flow of the t>d. For about the next six hours it falls or ebbs. Thus the tide flows and ebbs twice in about 24 hours. It is, however so affectedl by wind, and other causes that the actual and computed times of high‘ Water occasionally differ to the extent of three hours; while at some ports (for instance, Normanton, on the Gulf of Carpentaria) there is only- one tide in 24 hours, which during the south-east monsoons frequently fails altogether gether for three or four days. Tide tables are not, therefore, very reliable. The tides are about 50 minutes later each succeeding day. Weather Indications.-If the barometer rises gradually it will be find for nt least a few days. A falling barometer indicates north wind, followed by rain; a sudden fall, a thunderstorm or violent storm; and a rapid rise more rain after one flue day. A light-blue sky indicate, continued fine weather; and a bright-blue sky, unsettled conditions A fine day follows a red sunset, a grey sky in the *“*«> \" * Fibrous clouds, or cirrus, precede wind. A halo, or coro a, sun or moon is followed by stormy weather. Dusky fibrous clouds in th. wMt -it sunset indicate a warm north wind next day.

The clouds frequently called “mares’ tails” we term Cirrhi. They are marked by their light texture, fibrous and sundered as in the “ mare’s tail, or interlacing as in the S far-snreading white cloud, which produces the halo. Small, regularlyformed formed o-roups of these clouds are frequently seen in fair and settled weather. The Cirrhi are also the clouds on the forepart of the storm. In this case they are_usu ally more abundant, their outline is very ragged, and they generally blend into a.white, far-reaching cloud-bank.

The clouds usually seen after nightfall, lying in one horizontal plane, and not of great extent, are attendant on fine weather. Small, black, inky clouds and dark scud indicate rain. Barometer.— ln using the barometer, we should notice whether it be greatly above or below the mean height, and the rapidity of its rise or fall. If it be higher and steady, continued fair, though not cloudless, weather may be expected. If it be lower and falling, rain, or at least damp, cloudy weather, is at hand.

"value" : "WEATHER INDICATIONS AND TIDES. Definition of Terms.—Changeable means changing from char sky to cloudy, with fibrous clouds and indications of rail.', but generally little or no rain. Stormy, boisterous winds and gusty showers. Fine, no rain, but not necessarily a clear sky all the time. Very hot and sultry weather and north winds generally precede rain in summer. Sultriness is therefore fore an indication of approaching rain. It is caused by the sun’s action upon a moist atmosphere, or the approach of heated vapours from the Tropics. When there is a good rainfall little notice is taken of it, but in a drought year every shower is reported and magnified. Rain is measured by a gauge, and the values given represent the depth of water which would have accumulated on a level piece of ground if none of the rain which fell could escape by drainage or evaporation. Weather Wisdom. —Some indications of the weather are: —A rosy sky at sunset means fine weather, in the morning strong wind. A high dawn also indicates wind, a low dawn fine weather. Hard-edged, oily looking clouds also indicate w’ind, and generally the softer the clouds look the less wind there will be. Soft clouds, however, are generally forerunners of rain. Light, delicate-tinted clouds at great heights mean always fine weather; gaudy, strong coloured clouds at low heights mean wind and rain. Owls and other night-birds are “noisy” before fine weather, and sea-birds fly out early and far; parrots are “noisy” before rain, and long-flighted birds, e.g., rooks and swallows, hang about home and fly up and down near the ground.- Sugar hardens before frost or fine weather, and gets soft before rain or snow. The Tides. —The tides follow the moon around the world. Spring, or the highest, tides happen at new and full moons. At new moon the moon is between the sun and the earth, and at full moon the earth i» between the sun and the moon. Neap, or the lowest, tides happen when the moon is at right angles to the meridian of the sun and the earth, or at first and last quarters. The highest spring tides are at the equinoxes, when the sun is directly over the equator. It is, therefore, probable that the moon’s power of attraction may be. like its light, derived from the sun. In that case the sun would be the real cause of the tides. The progress of the tide round the g'obe causes the sea to rise at each place for about six hours. This is called the flow of the tide. For about the next six hours it falls, or ebbs. Thus the tide flows and ebbs twice in about 24 hours. It is, however, so affected by winds and other causes that the actual and computed times of high water occasionally differ to the extent of three hours: while at some ports (for instance, Normanton, on the Gulf of Carpentaria) there is only one tide in 24 hours, which during the south-east monsoons frequently fails altogether gether for three or four days. Tide tables are not, therefore, very reliable. Tl ? tides are about 50 minutes later each succeeding day. Weather Indications. —If the barometer rises gradually it will be fine for at least a few days. A falling barometer indicates north wind, followed by rain; a sudden fall, a thunderstorm or violent storm; and •a rapid rise, more rain after one fine day. A light-blue sky indicate* ■continued fine weather; and a bright-blue sky, unsettled conditions. A fine day folloivs a red sunset, a grey sky in the morning, or a dewy night. Fibrous clouds, or cirrus, precede wind. A halo, or corona, round the min or moon is followed by stormy weather. Dusky fibrous clouds in the west at sunset indicate a warm north wind next day. If sunset is obscured by dark clouds there will be rain next day. Wave-like cloud* portend rain; broken white clouds, dry weather. Climate. —An important feature in the constitution of the climate of a country is its rainfall. As a rule, more rain falls on sea coasts and islands than in inland districts, among mountains and hills than on level country, and in the Tropics than in higher latitudes.",

This table, and the accompanying remarks, are the result of many years' observations, the whole being constructed on a due consideration of the attraction tion of the Sun and Moon, in their several positions respecting the Earth, and will, by simple inspection, show the observer what kind of weather will most probably follow the entrance of the Moon into any of its quarters, and that bo near the truth as to be seldom or never found to fail.

The nearer the time of the Moon's change, first quarter, full and last quarter are to midnight, the fairer will be the weather during the next seven days. 2. The space for this calculation occupies from ten at night till two next morning. 3. The nearer to midday or noon the phases of the Moon happens, the more foul or wet weather may be expected during the next seven days. 4. The space for this calculation occupies from ten in the forenoon to two in the afternoon. These observations refer principally to the summer, though they affect spring and autumn nearly in the same ratio. 5. The Moon’s change, first quarter, full, and last quarter happening during six of the afternoon hours i.e., from four to ten —may be followed by fair weather; but this is mostly dependent on the wind, as is noted in the table. 6. Though the weather, from a variety of irregular causes, is more uncertain in the latter part of autumn, the whole of winter, and beginning of spring, yet in the main the above observations will apply to those periods also. 7.

"value" : "WEATHER INDICATIONS AND TIDES. Definition of Terms.—Changeable means changing from clear sky to cloudy, with fibrous clouds and indications of rain, but generally little or no rain. Stormy, boisterous winds and gusty showers. Fine, no rain, but not necessarily a clear sky all the time. Very hot and sultry weather and north winds generally precede rain in summer. Sultriness is therefore fore an indication of approaching rain. It is caused by the sun’s action upon a moist atmosphere, or the approach of heated vapours from the Tropics. When there is a good rainfall little notice is taken of it, but in a drought year every shower is reported and magnified. Rain is measured by a gauge, and the values given represent the depth of water which would have accumulated on a level piece of ground if none of the rain which fell could escape by drainage or evaporation. Weather Wisdom. —Some indications of the weather are:—A rosy sky at sunset means fine weather, in the morning strong wind. A high dawn also indicates wind, a low dawn fine weather. Hard-edged, oily looking clouds also indicate wind, and generally the softer the clouds look the less wind there will be. Soft clouds, however, are generally forerunners of rain. Light, delicate-tinted clouds at great heights mean always fine weather; gaudy, strong coloured clouds at low 7 heights mean wind and rain. Owds and other night-birds are “noisy” before fine weather, and sea-birds fly out early and far; parrots are “noisy” before rain, and long-flighted birds, e.g., rooks and swallows, hang about home and fly up and down near the ground. Sugar hardens before frost or fine weather, and gets soft before rain or snow. The Tides. —The tides follow’ the moon around the world. Spring, or the highest, tides happen at new and full moons. At new moon the moon is between the sun and the earth, and at full moon the earth is betw'een the sun and the moon. Neap, or the lowest, tides happen w’hen the moon is at right angles to the meridian of the sun and the earth, or at first and last quarters. The highest spring tides are at \"the equinoxes, when the sun is directly over the equator. It is, therefore, probable that the moon’s power of attraction may be, like its light, derived from the sun. In that case the sun would be the real cause of the tides. The progress of the tide round the globe causes the sea to rise at each place for about six hours. This is called the flow of the tide. For about the next six hours it falls, or ebbs. Thus the tide flows and ebbs twice in about 24 hours. It is, however, so affected by winds and other causes that the actual and computed times of high water occasionally differ to the extent of three hours; while at some ports (for instance, Normanton, on the Gulf of Carpentaria) there is only one tide in 24 hours, which during the south-east monsoons frequently fails altogether gether for three or four days. Tide tables are not, therefore, very reliable. The tides are about 50 minutes later each succeeding day. Weather Indications. —If the barometer rises gradually it w’ill be fine for at least a few’ days. A falling barometer indicates north wind, followed by rain; a sudden fall, a thunderstorm or violent storm; and a rapid rise, more rain after one fine day. A light-blue sky indicates continued fine weather; and a bright-blue sky, unsettled conditions. A fine day follow’s a red sunset, a grey sky in the morning, or a dewy night. Fibrous clouds, or cirrus, precede wind. A halo, or corona, round the sun or moon is followed by stormy weather. Dusky fibrous clouds in the w’est at sunset indicate a warm north wind next day. If sunset is obscured by dark clouds there will be rain next day. Wave-like clouds portend rain; broken white clouds, dry weather. Climate.—An important feature in the constitution of the climate of a country is its rainfall. As a rule, more rain falls on sea coasts and islands than in inland districts, among mountains and hills than on level country, and in the Tropics than in higher latitudes.",

"value" : "Wanted: Weather Spotters By Ken Batt of the NSW Severe Weather Section Bureau of Meteorology Did you know that the insured loss for major severe thunderstorm events in Australia over the past 30 years was at least $2.3 billion and that losses in NSW accounted for around 66% of this total? This highlights just how important the role of spotters is to our warning service. The most costly severe thunderstorm in Australian history devastated Sydney’s West on 18 March 1990, with insured losses exceeding $373 million. The Northern suburbs storm on 21 January 1991 saw $219 million in losses. The 1996-97 storm season was a fairly active one. The majority of the 76 storms reported occurred over central and northern parts of the State. Of the total number of severe storms reported, 27% produced large to giant hail, 38% produced wind gusts equal to or greater than 90 km/h, 34% produced very heavy rain and flash flooding and 1 % produced a tornado or two. We would like to thank all spotters for contributing to the warning and advice service. We often add spotter reports to the warnings and advisories sent to the emergency services and media during storm events to add weight to our messages. Phone your report to our FREECALL number 1800 060 292",

Version 3 of the API was made available in July 2023. For more information about the changes made in version 3 see the official release notes. I've also created a summary of breaking changes for users wanting to update their code from version 2 to version 3.
Click on any of the examples below to open them in this console, then modify them to suit. If you want to use them in your own code you'll need to get an API key and add the key to your request either using the key parameter, or setting X-API-KEY in the request headers.
See the Trove API v3 documentation for a full list of available parameters and detailed information on constructing queries.
For more examples, tools, and hacks using the Trove API see the GLAM Workbench.
See the Trove API v3 status page to check for problems.

Adding reclevel=full adds a number of additional fields to the article metadata, the actual fields added depends on the category. In newspapers and gazettes it adds illustrated, wordCount, correctionCount, tagCount, commentCount, listCount, trovePageUrl, and pdf (which is a link to a PDF of the whole page on which the article is published). In works it adds tagCount, commentCount, and listCount.

You can use the format index in both the query and as a facet, that means you can say that you don't want works with particular formats. This is handy for filtering out noise.

workversions
|
include the metadata for each individual version of this work |
The way that versions are grouped as works in Trove can be quite confusing. The work level metadata is generally quite consistent, but it can leave out useful metadata that's attached to an individual version. The version metadata is richer, but is also less consistent, so you have to be prepared for some trial and error if you want to extract information from it.

the full text is buried down in the version-level metadata, so you need to add this parameter if you want to actually get to it |
The fullTextInd index seems quite misleading as it includes articles from commercial databases where only a truncated sample of the full text is actually available, and electronic legal deposit works where access to the text is restricted. It would seem better to combine this indicator with a search for "nla.obj" or nuc:ANL:DL to try and limit to resources digitised by the NLA and partners.

An alternative to using the title facet is to include the identifier of the parent journal in the q parameter. This is how the Trove Digitised Journals app works.

the rights statements are attached to versions, so to see them you need to ask for the full versions data |
This facet only works with records where the copyright status is specified in the record. Some out-of-copyright photographs might be missing from results because their status has not been identified. A search for photos created before 1955 using date[* TO 1954] might find additional out-of-copyright images.
Facets break the result set into sections and can provide a useful overview. Note that there are limits on the number of facets returned, so they might not include the whole result set.

Contributors are identified by NUC identifiers.
Article or work identifiers are supplied as part of the url rather than as a query parameter. For example, https://api.trove.nla.gov.au/v3/newspaper/41697877 returns the details of the article with the identifier 41697877.

You only get the brief record version for each of the list items, so to get extra information, such as OCRd text for a newspaper article, you'll have to request each article individually. Also, the list items are not paginated, so if you have a long list this will return a lot of data.
There's a bug in the API so that a request for newspaper titles also returns the gazette titles. See the GLAM Workbench for a workaround.
