The Predicted Drought
(Our Post's Own Correspondent.) Sydney, October 10.
Mr Charles Egeson, meteorologist at Sydney Observatory, who has for some time passed been highly successful in forecasting weather changes, reports that evidence that we are on the eve of a most inauspicious climatic change is to him overwhelming, and he predicts the recurrence of the terrible three years' drought of 1 827-30. He points out that the weather conditions leading up to that drought have been closely reproduced during the last two or three years, and says that the summer upon which we are now entering will probably be exceptionally wet, that it will be followed by a dry winter, and that the drought commencing six or nine months from present time will probably extend into the middle of 1893.
