Abstract
IN most countries during the spring, and to a lesser A extent in the autumn, there are periods in which the meteorological conditions result in a frost. Leaving out of the question spells of cold weather, the prediction of which is the concern of a Meteorological Service, there remains the possibility of local frosts in isolated districts, occurring on clear, windless nights and lasting for a portion of the night and early morning. These frosts are capable of doing great damage to fruit-trees, etc., and the possibility of forecasting them in time for the fruit-growers to take precautions is of interest and importance.
