From march of 1945... 10 minute wartime shortie from john nesbitt. The methods for forecasting the weather with an emphasis on farming. And the farmer is reading whitaker's almanac; never heard of that one. Discussions of anemometers. Snowfall cores. Local weather-gathering stations. Balloons. From the passing parade collection of shorts. Pretty basic tools, back in the day. Now it's all weather modeling on computers. Directed by paul burnford; he only directed 15 projects, and they were all short films.
