LEARN HOW TO PREDICT THE WEATHER
Create your own prediction methods. The methods provided in this chapter are based on a few key (but very general) principles:
•Major weather systems usually move from west to east.
•Advancing lows bring more humidity.
•Rapidly advancing highs can produce violent storms.
Predicting the weather is all about recognizing the signs of humidity and pressure changes. While prevailing systems may move from west to east, for example, individual storms in a particular region may not, due to local weather phenomena. On the average, tomorrow’s weather will be much like today’s (especially this evening’s). Be alert when you see the clouds descend, the humidity rise, and the temperature fall. It’s better to lay over another day in a good, safe campsite than to be caught on a high mountain, like Whitney, in a storm!
As your knowledge of weather increases, you’ll become much more adept at predicting the weather, and you’ll also be better at judging weather reports. If you can predict the weather with some confidence, you can manage your pack load accordingly. There is no sense carrying more than what’s needed if it’s going to be nice, but if it’s going to be foul, then it’s wise to be prepared.
