WEATHER REPORTS
Sir,-Your correspondent ‘"Nib-Nab" is unreasonable iri his attempt to reform the weather forecasters. An impassioned cry of "North Island preference," followed by a suggestion for the reversal of the present order of reading the weather forecasts on alternate days for the sake of variety, an arrangement which could only result in the complete confusion of the listener, is not likely to arouse the sympathy of the appropriate broadcasting official. There is, however, at least one good reason for -_---- Slotted
advocating a South-to-North © reading. For most people the forecast of a cold change is the most useful one, and in many districts this change comes from the south. Would it not be more logical and more interesting to be able to follow the Progress of a cold front from the arctic regions northwards, than suddenly to encounter it in the middle of our journey southwards?
