Books on Astro-Meteorology and Astrological Weather Prediction in the Library
Astro-meteorology has a long history, and the library contains numerous books and almanacs that allude to it, as well as some more general books on the history of weather prediction in different eras and a few more obscure publications that are hard to define without looking at them more closely.
Disclaimer: I can’t vouch for the usefulness of the traditional rules, as it is not an area I’ve researched or practised. Nor can I say whether or not they are of any real practical value for weather forecasting today given the tremendous computer-assisted power of weather forecasting projected from current weather patterns around the world at the disposal of meteorologists today, but they remain of historical interest to many, and of experimental research interest to dedicated enthusiasts.
