Forecasting the Weather
A peck of March dust is worth a king's ransom.
The weather affects us all but we complain that our systems of weather forecasting are inaccurate. If we could predict, or even control, the weather precisely, could there then be a weather war? Is country lore more reliable than the long-range weather forecast? Hubert Lamb , Professor Emeritus of the University of East Anglia, and Lionel Smith , agricultural meteorologist, are in the studio to answer your questions.
Sue MacGregor is in the Chair
Produced by the Woman's Hour Unit
