Practical meteorology

Practical Meteorology by John Drew and Frederic Drew is a scientific guide that explores weather observation and atmospheric phenomena. John Drew, an astronomer and meteorologist, focused on methods for collecting and interpreting weather data. Frederic Drew, known for his geographical and administrative work in India, likely contributed updates or context. The book aimed to make meteorology accessible for practical use, including by amateurs and colonial administrators, reflecting the growing 19th-century interest in scientific approaches to natural phenomena.
